Review
"Over all stimulating, and the cover is bright and effective." Books Ireland Feb 2000 "What is obvious almost immediately, as the preface goes on to acknowledge, is that there are few educational topics in which so many conflicts converge. The book's principal value is to bring these conflicts to our notice and to alert us to some of the historical, cultural, methodological and ideological reasons for their existence..." Books Ireland May 2000 "Readers of this volume will leave it with no doubt of the expertise and commitment of its contributors. To those of us with the responsibility of teaching English, it is a reminder of the importance and value of our work." Studies Vol 90 No 357 2001
