About
Welcome to the Edexcel Conflict Poetry short course offered by Private Tutors 'R' Us. In this course, we will explore the poem "Cousin Kate" by Christina Rossetti, which is a powerful exploration of the themes of love, betrayal, and class conflict. Published in 1854, the poem is a dramatic monologue in which a woman tells the story of her seduction and abandonment by a wealthy lord, who then marries her cousin. Through our close analysis of the poem, we will examine the literary devices and themes employed by Rossetti to convey the conflict between social classes and the struggle for power between men and women in Victorian society. By the end of the course, you will have a deep understanding of the poem's meaning and how it fits into the overarching themes of conflict in the Edexcel Conflict Poetry anthology. Our line-by-line analysis will help you develop critical reading and analytical skills essential for exam success. Join us now and take the first step towards success in your GCSE English Literature Poetry exam.
