The Beginnings of University English: Extramural Study, 1885-1910
draws on previously unseen archival material to explore the
innovative and scholarly ways in which English literature was
taught to extramural students in England during the fin de siecle.
It begins by tracing the development of the subject from 1650
onwards, before looking at the impassioned debates surrounding the
introduction of English as an honours degree at Oxford and
Cambridge in the 1880s and '90s. The book then examines exactly how
the subject was taught in various non-university settings such as
novel-reading unions, the University Extension Movement, and
informal literary advice columns written by Arnold Bennett for a
popular Edwardian newspaper. At a time when the future of the
humanities feels increasingly uncertain, this book sheds new light
on the modern roots of tertiary-level English teaching.
