Robert Burns (Scotnotes Ser. No. 9)
by Kenneth SimpsonRobert Burns is perhaps Scotland’s foremost cultural icon, and is the world’s most widely celebrated poet. Sometimes his fame – and his face on all those teatowels – stands in the way of an appreciation of the sheer scope of his genius. Although occasionally derided by ignorant and unthinking persons as “doggerel”, Burns’s poetry contains great depths of humanity, philosophy, humour and rare beauty. Kenneth Simpson’s Scotnote provides students with a brief and authoritative introduction to Burns, his life and his work.
The Twelfth Night
by John Seely William ShakespeareThe gentle melancholy and lyrical atmosphere of Twelfth Night have long made the play a favourite with Shakespearian audiences. The plot revolves around mistaken identities and unrequited love, but is further enlivened by a comic sub-plot of considerable accomplishment. In it, Sir Toby Belch and his companion outwit the pretentious Malvolio, who despite suffering their most outrageous and insulting practical jokes, emerges as an almost noble figure. This edition of Twelfth Night opens up Shakespeare to all students and offers a complete guide to studying the play. It is ideal preparation for KS3 as well as GCSE English and English Literature. This Heinemann Shakespeare edition of Twelfth Night includes: activities after all main scenes to help understanding of the play; introductions to Shakespeare's theatre and language to aid contextual understanding; accessible explanations and summaries to help ensure student understanding.
