Flashcards for Pearson Edexcel GCSE English Literature (1ET0), split into Paper 1 and Paper 2 and then by set text, with one subdeck for every Shakespeare play, post-1914 play or novel, 19th-century novel and poem in the four Pearson Poetry Anthology collections, each covering plot, characters, themes, context and short key quotations. Two more subdecks cover literary terms and how each question is marked. Delete or suspend the texts and collections you don't study once the deck is yours.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
