At a time when knowledge is being 're-valued' as central to
curriculum concerns, subject English is being called to account.
Literary Knowing and the Making of English Teachers puts
long-standing debates about knowledge and knowing in English in
dialogue with an investigation of how English teachers are made in
the 21st century. This book explores, for the first time, the role
of literature in shaping English teachers' professional knowledge
and identities by examining the impacts, in particular, of their
own school teaching in their 'making'. The voices of early career
English teachers feature throughout the work, in a series of
vignettes providing reflective accounts of their professional
learning. The authors bring a range of disciplinary expertise and
standpoints to explore the complexity of knowledge and knowing in
English. They ask: How do English teachers negotiate competing
curriculum demands? How do they understand literary knowledge in a
neoliberal context? What is core English knowledge for students,
and what role should literature play in the contemporary
curriculum? Drawing on a major longitudinal research project, they
bring to light what English teachers see as central to their work,
the ways they connect teaching with their disciplinary training,
and how their understandings of literary practice are contested and
reimagined in the classroom. This innovative work is essential
reading for scholars and postgraduate students in the fields of
teacher education, English education, literary studies and
curriculum studies.
