Essays exploring the opportunities for and challenges to the
discipline of English language and literature in education. The
study of English literature, language, culture and creative writing
is an important and dynamic enterprise. English: Shared Futures
celebrates the discipline's intellectual strength, diversity and
creativity, explores its futures in the nations of the UK and
across the world, and brings together the huge scholarly, cultural
and social energy of the biggest subject in the Arts and Humanities
in Higher and in Secondary education: the most staff, the most
students. It represents the synergies produced when practitioners
and students from across the discipline come together, and aims to
enable new understanding of the challenges that the discipline
faces within schools and universities, the vital cultural and
political role that English plays, and a renewed appreciation of
the intellectual vitality and commitment of its scholars and
students. Overall, it demonstrates the rich ecosystem of a subject
crucial to social, cultural, and economic well-being, and offers
ways in which its vitality can be ensured in the face of new
challenges within and beyond the academy. ROBERT EAGLESTONE is
Professor of Contemporary Literature and Thought, Royal Holloway,
University of London; GAIL MARSHALL is Head of the School of
Literature and Languages at the University of Reading.
