Praise for the Vintage Living Texts series
I didn`t realise just how good the series was until I started working closely with it. The questions are so thoughtful and probing.. the texts really do occupy their own niche between guides purely for teachers and the ubiquitous student crib and are much better than either.’
Head of English, Newington College
'I am impressed. Students will find these extremely useful,
and serious general readers too.’
Professor Chris Woodhead. Former Chief Inspector of Schools.
'This series is the first to teach students
what they most need to learn; how to teach themselves. It is informative,
rigorous and yet, more importantly, playful. It combines the qualities
of the best teaching.’
Head of English, Kent College, Pembury.
