Taking a close look at the forces that affect English education in
schools-at the ways literature, cognitive science, the privileging
of the STEM disciplines, and current educational policies are
connected-this timely book counters with a strong argument for the
importance of continuing to teach literature in middle and
secondary classrooms. The case is made through critical examination
of the ongoing "culture wars" between the humanities and the
sciences, recent research in cognitive literary studies
demonstrating the power of narrative reading, and an analysis of
educational trends that have marginalized literature teaching in
the U.S., including standards-based and scripted curricula. The
book is distinctive in presenting both a synthesis of arguments for
literary study in the middle and high school and sample lesson
plans from practicing teachers exemplifying how literature can
positively influence adolescents' intellectual, emotional, and
social selves.
