Unseen prose guidance

In the Unseen Prose section of Unit 1 The Study of Prose, you will be asked to analyse and evaluate an unseen 19th century prose extract.

These extracts will:

  • cover a range of genres
  • cover British texts and also those from other cultures
  • be approximately 40-50 lines in length

You should spend 15 minutes reading the extract and 30 minutes writing your answer to the question.

Show how the writer of the extract engages with the reader.

You may wish to consider:

  • the characters’ feelings and reactions
  • the writer's use of language, structure and form
