This collection of essays demonstrates that using fiction, poetry,
and drama in the classroom provides students with the best
opportunity to learn about thinking, writing, and life at their
deepest levels. Several of the contributors have worked or studied
at Ridgeview Classical School in Fort Collins, Colorado. E. D.
Hirsch, in The Making of Americans, has said of this school that
its success "stands as a sharp rebuke to the anti-intellectual
pedagogy of most American schools". Within this volume, readers
will also encounter essays by teachers who have not worked at
Ridgeview but utilize the same approach to teaching, illustrating
that these methods can be used with students at all levels of
education, from rural schools to major universities. Included in
the appendices are course descriptions, syllabi, and study
questions to provide examples of how these teaching concepts can be
applied in the classroom. Ultimately, these authors provide readers
with new insight, in this era of supposed practicality, by
illuminating literature as a down-to-earth vehicle whereby students
can learn to read, write, think, and feel in ways that empower them
both as learners and as human beings.
