Editorial Reviews

"Overall Headrick has done the discipline of English a great service in tackling what we all know but seldom get round to saying to our students such comprehensive clarity or so courteously!." ( The English Association Journal for Teachers of English , 1 October 2014

“Headrick’s text captures, uniformly, all the essential elements of solid academic writing about literature, in terms of structure, effective use of direct evidence, and thorough textual analysis, without sounding pedantic or formulaic. For first year students, his pedagogy is clear and accessible; for undergraduate students at every level, it provides an invaluable resource for building their skills and reinforcing good writing practices.” — Cecilia Martell,Kwantlen Polytechnic University

From the Back Cover

Distilling the author’s years of teaching experience into a graduated set of instructions and exercises, it develops the interpretive skills required for logical and effective essays. The text details the exact academic specifications for writing top-flight essays on literature and includes examples that model each stage of the process,

The book’s practice exercises can be completed in class or at home, and integrated checklists link the exercises with the preceding chapter’s contents, enabling students to assess their own work quickly and accurately.
