The Intertext series has been specifically designed to meet the needs of contemporary English Language Studies.

These provide students with hands-on practical experience of textual analysis through special topics, and can be used individually or in conjunction with Working with Texts.

- provides lively examples from everyday communication, including letters, emails, postcards and text messages
