This book won the 2014 AESA (American Educational Studies
Association) Critics Choice Award. The purpose of this book is
restore the centrality of pedagogy in governing the ways literary
texts are received, experienced, and interpreted by students in the
classroom. Utilizing a method of pedagogical criticism, it provides
an account of core approaches to teaching literature that have
emerged across history and the conceptual values informing these
approaches. More importantly, Reading the World discusses how these
values have been shaped by broader global forces and key movements
in the discipline of English Literature. To varying degrees, these
approaches are aimed at cultivating a hospitable imagination so
that students may more fully engage with multiple others in the
world. Given the reality of an increasingly interconnected
twenty-first century, literature pedagogy plays a vital role in
schools by demonstrating how world, global, and cosmopolitan
approaches to teaching literature can facilitate the prioritization
of the other, challenge us to think about how we can be accountable
to multiple others in the world, and push us to continually
problematize the boundaries of our openness towards the other.
