It is also a deeply personal work. People say that reading literature does not make you a better person. True. But reading this book will make you a better teacher. And maybe make you think better of literature too.\" \u003ci\u003eTimes Higher Education Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Grounded equally in narrative anecdotes and in published scholarship, \u003ci\u003eTeaching Literature\u003c\/i\u003e is admirably accessible and reader-friendly...

Drawing on 40 years of international teaching experience, author Elaine Showalter inspires instructors to make their classroom practice as intellectually exciting as their research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShowalter's wide-ranging reflections address practical, theoretical, and methodological issues. She starts out by describing the anxieties of teaching literature and by outlining the major theories and methods circulating in the field. She then goes on to look separately at teaching drama, fiction, poetry, and theory, and to explore ways to teach teaching. Finally, she investigates the moral issues involved in teaching, and the practical ethics of handling touchy subjects, from sexuality to suicide.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamples from real classes and careers are cited throughout, generating an unusual degree of authenticity and immediacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990137028837,"sku":"NP9780631226246","price":31.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631226246.jpg?v=1761786644","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/teaching-literature-isbn-9780631226246","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
