Oliver Twist — Charles Dickens | A Level Student Guide | Coleman’s Notes CN-SG046

Study Oliver Twist with confidence with this comprehensive Coleman’s Notes® Student Guide.

Rather than simply retelling Dickens’s story, the guide explains how the novel works and how students can use that understanding in examination essays.

Follow Oliver from the workhouse through Dickens’s criminal London and explore Fagin’s gang, Bill Sikes and Nancy, Brownlow, the Maylies and Monks alongside the novel’s treatment of poverty, childhood, crime, punishment, identity, class and social injustice.

The guide includes a detailed companion to all 53 chapters, extensive character and theme analysis, Dickens’s literary methods, historical context, important quotations and turning points, plus a dedicated examination section.

Students receive five essay plans and five model answers, practice examination questions, 25 Exam & Revision Questions, a revision checklist and Quick Recall material for final preparation.

Particular attention is given to Elements of Crime Writing, including criminal networks, victims, coercion, surveillance, detection, murder, punishment and Dickens’s wider examination of the relationship between criminal behaviour and society. AQA itself frames the novel through these crime-writing elements.

Suitable for: A Level English Literature students, teachers, tutors, home educators and independent readers.
