Y12-Y13 Gothic texts

Firstly, I must apologise for the delay in getting this up. The school internet provider decided to block access to blogspot for staff and it's been fun trying to get through the proxy.

Anyway,

Here are the details of the texts you will need to get for next year. We usually ask the Waterstones in Orchard Square in town to stock up on these, but they can often be a little cheaper online so it's up to you how you get them.

Doctor Faustus, Christopher Marlowe, Oxford World Classics, ISBN 978-0-19-953706-8

Dracula, Bram Stoker, Vintage Classics, ISBN 978-0-099-51122-9

The Bloody Chamber, Angela Carter, Vintage Books, ISBN 978-0-099-58811-5

Y13: Homework

You will need to do some specific research for next week.

Look at http://www.delpiano.com/carnival/html/commedia.html (this is the correct website!) and find out about the different types of characters - I will test you on them on Monday when look at Puss in Boots.

I WILL now be in your P2 lesson on Thursday. However, if you don't get this note in time, then you will still need to complete your reading of The Courtship of Mr Lyon and answer the following question:

Is The Courtship of Mr Lyon intended to be in the style of a traditional fairy tale? 500-700 words
