Description
Doing English presents the key ideas and debates that shape how we study literature, exploring the value of literature, the canon, theory, politics, and the subject itself. Robert Eaglestone's clear and engaging style helps students think critically about their studies.
This guide bridges the gap between English at A-level and Higher Education, examining traditional and theoretical approaches to literature and explaining key concepts. It also addresses why English is a subject of public debate and concern in the media and amongst politicians and educators.
Updated to reflect recent research, educational changes, and current events, Doing English now includes a chapter on 'Why Study English?' which shows how the skills taught by English are transferable to a range of careers. This book is an ideal introduction to studying English Literature.
