Here on PoemAnalysis.com, we have the largest database of poetry analysis on the internet. For those that are studying a GCSE in English Literature with the examining body CCEA (Council for the Curriculum, Examination and Assessment), then you will know that there are a few anthologies of poems to analyse ranging from Love and Death, Nature and War and Heaney and Hardy, to help prepare for Section B of Unit 2. With this, here is an analysis of all of the poems on the CCEA GCSE English Literature syllabus (if it has not yet been analysed, our team of poetry experts will be working hard to get the poem/s analysed as soon as possible). Please feel free to skip to the poem most relevant to you and if you want a poem to be analysed that you cannot find on the site too, feel free to contact us.
