About this book
Reviews
“Woven from a career of researching and teaching literature, this warm, wise, thought-provoking, profound, subtle and rewarding book should be read and discussed by the whole profession. The book’s quiet but assured originality lies in the braiding together of a challenging genealogy of English as a discipline, a deep understanding of the entwining of criticism and pedagogy, and an astute focus on the threads which bind our singular subject. Gently enacting in prose the production of shared meaning that occurs in teaching, Pedagogic Criticism marks a novel form of theoretical understanding that both grows from and returns to the experience of teaching and learning literature.” (Robert Eaglestone, Professor at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK)
