World and Time is an important resource for all teachers of English. It both presents a fascinating overview of teaching Literature today and offers a valuable and practical guide to anyone teaching advanced level courses in the subject.
The book explores the contexts - educational, academic and philosophical - in which 'English Literature' is currently taught and assessed. It questions whether and how contexts should be taught; and if it is possible to combine the recent focus on the contextual study of literary texts with a continuing emphasis on texts and topics.
In a series of linked discussions focusing on texts and topics central to literary studies, the author demonstrates surprising ways in which the study of context can give a new and sharper focus to the words on the page.
Throughout the book, the author argues for the need for students to ask themselves why the subject matters enough to be studied at school and university, and discusses the key literary skills that universities expect students to have developed.
