This book recreates in written form seventeen of the most popular,
frankly personal and engaging lectures on literature given by the
award-winning teacher Richard Jacobs, who has been working with
students for over forty years. This is a book written for students,
whether starting their studies or more experienced, and also for
all lovers of literature. At its heart is the conviction that
reading, thinking about, and writing or talking about literature
involves us all personally: texts talk to us intimately and
urgently, inviting us to talk back, intervening in and changing our
lives. These lectures discuss, in an open but richly informed way,
a wide range of texts that are regularly studied and enjoyed. They
model what it means to be excited about reading and studying
literature, and how the study of literature can be life-changing -
perhaps even with the effect of changing the lives of readers of
this eloquent and remarkable book.
