This video teaches you how to understand the context of this poem, link it to the poet purpose, and explores the structures and form. If you are hard working, and get to the end, you will also see how to compare it to every other poem in the power and conflict section of AQA's anthology (except Tissue, which is a problem poem!)

You will also find a brilliant resource to help you revise all the poems, including London. Here is the link:
