The Teaching Archive shows us a series of major literary thinkers
in a place we seldom remember them inhabiting: the classroom.
Rachel Sagner Buurma and Laura Heffernan open up "the teaching
archive"-the syllabuses, course descriptions, lecture notes, and
class assignments-of critics and scholars including T. S. Eliot,
Caroline Spurgeon, I. A. Richards, Edith Rickert, J. Saunders
Redding, Edmund Wilson, Cleanth Brooks, Josephine Miles, and Simon
J. Ortiz. This new history of English rewrites what we know about
the discipline by showing how students helped write foundational
works of literary criticism and how English classes at community
colleges and HBCUs pioneered the reading methods and expanded
canons that came only belatedly to the Ivy League. It reminds us
that research and teaching, which institutions often imagine as
separate, have always been intertwined in practice. In a
contemporary moment of humanities defunding, the casualization of
teaching, and the privatization of pedagogy, The Teaching Archive
offers a more accurate view of the work we have done in the past
and must continue to do in the future.
