Narrative is everywhere and has unique powers: to enchant and
inspire, to make sense of our lives and ourselves and to afford us
an enriched understanding of alternative worlds and lives and of
better futures - though narrative also has the potential to coerce
and oppress. Narrative is at the centre at all stages of the
English curriculum and has been the subject of a burgeoning
critical industry. This timely volume addresses the many ways in
which recent thinking has informed the teaching of narrative in
university classrooms in the UK and the USA. Distinguished teachers
from both countries range widely across narrative topics and
genres, including the opportunities opened up by new technologies,
and chapters articulate students' own individual and collaborative
experiences in the teaching/learning process. The result is a
volume that explores the pleasurable challenges of working with
students to help them appreciate and assess the power that
narrative exerts, to become reflective critics of its inner
workings as well as exponents of narrative themselves.
