The Vocabulary Builder program uses a systematic approach to building students' vocabulary by presenting words in context or information about word parts to help students unlock word meanings independently, and by requiring students to apply their knowledge of new words in reading and writing exercises.
The Vocabulary Builder Annotated Teacher Edition contains the answers for the tasks in the Student Edition as well as strategies for teaching vocabulary.

The influence of the non-Biblical vernacular prophetic traditions in early modern England was considerable; they had both a mass appeal, and a specific relevance to the conduct of politics by elites.

Pope and the Destiny of the Stuarts - History, Politics and Mythology in the Age of Queen Anne

This radical new look at the literary and political climate of England during the reign of Queen Anne examines the work of the greatest poet of the age, Alexander Pope.

It examines the poem's topical and political aspects and offers a reconfiguration of Pope's early career, demonstrating that this was a pivotal period, marking a critical watershed in both his personal and literary development.
