Summary |
Embark on a literary voyage through Carol Ann Duffy's celebrated 1999 collection, The World's Wife, with this captivating student book. Designed to empower students in their journey to develop a thoughtful and personal connection with Duffy's poems, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of selected works from the collection, including 'Queen Herod', 'Pilate's Wife', 'Delilah', 'Medusa', 'Eurydice', 'Mrs Icarus', 'Little Red-Cap', and 'Mrs Beast'. Throughout this study, students will engage in a variety of activities that require them to respond to the poems in critical and creative ways. These activities encompass imaginative, persuasive, and discursive styles of writing, allowing students to explore the multifaceted layers of Duffy's poetry and the intriguing perspectives it offers. By working their way through the different activities in this student book, students will improve their understanding of the ways Duffy gives voice to women who have historically been side-lined, ignored, or represented in overly simplistic and often high sexist or derogatory ways throughout the history of Western culture and literature. |
