Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the English literature curriculum as taught in schools today, arguing that a heavy emphasis on memorization and study of texts to the exclusion of any real effort to understand English literature is harming students. The author argues that standardized tests are at fault for prioritizing retention over comprehension, and that students are discouraged from exploring modern writers and engaging in critical analysis. The book proposes instead that students study fewer texts and focus on understanding the lives and styles of the great English writers, as well as exploring a wider range of classic and contemporary works. This book makes a strong case for reforming the way English literature is taught in schools.
