Description:

The Poetry Appreciation pages at GCSE's electronic English Department are part of a web site that aims to prepare British students for their standardized testing. However, as poetry knows no boundaries, neither does its appreciation. Surely any North American student will find the featured tips, explanation of poetry terms, and glossary very helpful when preparing for a test or just keeping up with homework.
