Our EDEXCEL GCSE English Poetry Conflict short course, by Private Tutors R Us, is designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the poem "The Destruction of Sennacherib" by Lord Byron.
 
This poem is Byron's retelling of the biblical story of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, who invades the kingdom of Judah but is ultimately defeated by the hand of God. Byron's interpretation of this story is notable for its vivid imagery and the way it explores themes of power, pride, and the inevitable fall of those who seek to conquer others.
 
In this course, we will delve deep into the poem's language, structure, and context, exploring its use of figurative language and poetic devices to convey its themes. Our line-by-line analysis will help you develop a deeper understanding of the poem's meaning and how it fits into the broader context of conflict literature.
