About the Book:
English literature as a subject area in secondary and further
education is undergoing profound change. The expansion of
communication, cultural and gender studies, together with the claims
of new theoretical perspectives, is transforming traditional
approaches to literature. With the introduction of British GCSEs and
the National Curriculum for England, schools, colleges and
universities are being subjected to unprecedented demands for
curriculum reform. At the same time, the education system is faced
with a deepening crisis of resources. How is the teaching of
Shakespeare affected by these academic and political developments?
Shakespeare in the Changing Curriculum provides a context
for debates about the place of Shakespeare within the English
curriculum, and examines the new possibilities in teaching
Shakespeare afforded by the application of contemporary critical
approaches in the classroom and seminar room.
Practical classroom ideas backed up by clear philosophical
positions. This book should be of interest to students and teachers
of English literature and education.
