Brilliantly helpful book =)
The York Notes Advanced for The Worlds Wife are so useful when studying the anthology. It goes through each individual poem and highlights the important quotes and themes throughout. There are also sections dedicated to themes etc so that you can successfully compare poems with each other. Brilliant product!

Fantastic
An excellent help and guide alongside the text for a level examination. Opens your mind!

Deep and original!!
In "The World's Wife," Duffy takes up her themes from myths, fables, the bible, popular culture, literature and history. I find it very original that Duffy gives a voice to unheard women such as "Pilate's Wife," "Mrs. Darwin, " "Mrs. Sisyphus" and "Anne Hathaway." The more modern ones are "Mrs. Faust" and "Queen Kong".
These women's voices reveal their personal struggles which are sometimes universal ones.
