(no subject)
I know I've been pretty quiet recently, I've been really busy with college and exams. Unfortunately this entry's pretty boring too as I'm basically listing a load of revision resources in a place where I can find them easily. Hopefully I'll have some actual content up soon, and who knows, this may be of some use to some people.
WJEC Specification English Literature - LT4 Poetry and Drama
Hamlet and The Revenger's Tragedy
AQA English Language B
WJEC Psychology - To come at a later date :-P I've had enough for now.
If anyone knows of any other resources, please let me know. I'll try to work out how to make this entry public, too.
WJEC Specification English Literature - LT4 Poetry and Drama
Hamlet and The Revenger's Tragedy
- Comparisons of 'What a piece of work is a man' speech.
- Comparisons of the 'Fishmonger' scene.
- Hyperion to a Satyr blog. - really useful analysis of the different film productions.
- On the emagazine website, which it won't let me link to but it should come up in a Google search, there's a PDF of the top five Shakespeare websites. There's also an online edition of one of their magazine which I found pretty interesting to read, if not directly relevent to my exam.
- Sparknotes - the favourite of lazy students who never actually read the book. :-P It's okay if your struggling with the plot, but I don't think it's the best resource out there.
- Oxford University's series of podcasts on Approaching Shakespeare. - I've included this even though it doesn't include Hamlet in the hope that it will do before my exam.
- Their series on Elizabethan and Jacobean revenge plays, however does include The Revenger's Tragedy, which is good as there are limited resources on the play.
- Audio and Visual revision aids for Hamlet - mainly included because it's one of the few examples of revision podcasts I could find.
- Get Revising's resources for Hamlet - Get Revising is one of the few revision websites that have been recommended to me by college or school that I have actually found useful.
- Fodor's version of Hamlet in it's entirity - courtesy of Youtube. It's an insane production, mind, but it's not illegally uploaded so it shouldn't be removed.
- Act 1 Scene 1 of Tennant's version - Again, thanks to Youtube. This one is uploaded by a user, so it may be taken down. I'm sure most productions could be found on Youtube if you desperately wanted to see them.
- Litcharts - which includes Hamlet
- GetRevising again :-)
- Oxford University's Great Writers inspire series - including William Blake
AQA English Language B
