British Library

About this resource

Explore a collection of literature and history learning materials from the British Library. Use contextual resources to ask better questions about a text, not to replace close reading. Identify who created a source, when it was created and what purpose it served. A historical detail becomes useful in an argument when you show how it helps explain or complicate something specific. The provider’s collection offers several kinds of resources, rather than a single downloadable textbook.
