Studying Literature: New Approaches to Poetry and Fiction

Author(s): Brian Moon

Studying Literature provides a powerful way for high school teachers and students to explore the question of what makes a piece of writing “literature.” The book includes a variety of literary texts, along with accessible discussions and stimulating exercises to help students investigate the values, assumptions, and practices that underlie literary activity. Individual and group activities are based on poems, short stories, and prose extracts—all included in the book.
