This book tells the story of how a team of colleagues at Boston
College took an unusual approach (working with a design
consultancy) to renewing their core and in the process energized
administrators, faculty, and students to view liberal arts
education as an ongoing process of innovation. It aims to provide
insight into what they did and why they did it and to provide a
candid account of what has worked and what has not worked. Although
all institutions are different, they believe their experiences can
provide guidance to others who want to change their general
education curriculum or who are being asked to teach core or
general education courses in new ways. The book also includes short
essays by a number of faculty colleagues who have been teaching in
BC’s new innovative core courses, providing practical advice
about the challenges of trying interdisciplinary teaching, team
teaching, project-or problem-based learning, intentional
reflection, and other new structures and pedagogies for the first
time. It will also address some of the nuts and bolts issues they
have encountered when trying to create structures to make
curriculum change sustainable over time and to foster ongoing
innovation.

""Shakespeare's Brain" will inevitably be described as a
'cognitive' analysis because it pays attention to cognitive aspects
of meaning, but it is no less 'historical, ' 'theoretical, ' and
'nterpretive'. The book gives rich treatments of the historical
aspects of the plays and their production, the history of
criticism, and literary theory. To this richness it adds the
embodied mind of the writer writing, and the ways in which the
plays investigate what is involved in conceiving of oneself as an
embodied mind. Shakespeare's Brain offers old wine (Shakespeare) in
new bottles (cognitive science), giving us not only a picture of
the future of cognitive literary study but also some valuable new
interpretations of the plays."--Mark Turner, University of Maryland
"Mary Thomas Crane lays out with easy authority and admirable
lucidity what criticism might hope to gain from considering the
insights of cognitive neuroscience. Taking on a wide range of
experimental and theoretical cognitive science as well as the
beginnings of its absorption into historical and literary studies,
she proves to be a gifted explainer. Moreover, her 'adjustment' of
Saussure, Lacan, and Derrida has an unassuming brilliance, bold but
modestly teacherly, controversial without being
controversialist."--James Richardson, Princeton University
"The implications of Mary Thomas Crane's approach are manifold
and momentous, and she presents these in an introduction as
striking for its lucidity as for its significance. Crane's
scholarship is rich and extensive, and the book is beautifully
written."--Judith H. Anderson, Indiana University
Writers in sixteenth-century England often kept commonplace books
in which to jot down notable fragments encountered during reading
or conversation, but few critics have fully appreciated the
formative influence this activity had on humanism. Focusing on the
discursive practices of "gathering" textual fragments and "framing"
or forming, arranging, and assimilating them, Mary Crane shows how
keeping commonplace books made up the English humanists' central
transaction with antiquity and provided an influential model for
authorial practice and authoritative self-fashioning. She thereby
revises our perceptions of English humanism, revealing its emphasis
on sayings, collectivism, shared resources, anonymous inscription,
and balance of power--in contrast to an aristocratic mode of
thought, which championed individualism, imperialism, and strong
assertion of authorial voice. Crane first explores the theory of
gathering and framing as articulated in influential
sixteenth-century logic and rhetoric texts and in the pedagogical
theory with which they were linked in the humanist project. She
then investigates the practice of humanist discourse through a
series of texts that exemplify the notebook method of composition.
These texts include school curricula, political and economic
treatises (such as More's Utopia), contemporary biography, and
collections of epigrams and poetic miscellanies. Originally
published in 1993. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
