Cliffs Notes On Dickens' Oliver Twist

The 'Cliffs Notes Literature' series provides students with concise references that help them to understand the overall structure of the great works of literature, the actions and motivations of characters, and the authors' social and cultural perspectives. Ideal for high school students, 'Cliffs Notes' provide students with the combined efforts of teachers, writers, and editors who've studied, taught, and analysed what literary classics mean to literature as a whole and to us as individuals.

Along with information on the authors, the social and historical backgrounds, they include such features as information on the structure and tradition of literary genres, facts about the characters, critical analyses, review questions, glossaries of unfamiliar terms, foreign phrases and literary allusions, maps, genealogies, and a bibliography to help students to locate more data for essays, reports and exams.
