One of a series of literature guides for students from Key Stage 3 to A-Level, this book focuses on Willie Russell's Educating Rita. Each title in the series aims to develop the skills and techniques required for English-literature coursework and exams, and at the same time to encourage an exploratory reading of the text under discussion. There are introductions to the plot, characters and themes, detailed commentary on the text, self-test questions, and guidance on literary terms, memorable quotes and examination essays.
