| book description |
Widely considered the standard history of the profession of literary studies, ""Professing Literature"" unearths the long-forgotten ideas and debates that created the literature department as we know it today. In a readable and often-amusing narrative, Gerald Graff shows that the heated conflicts of our recent culture wars echo - and often recycle - controversies over how literature should be taught that began more than a century ago. Updated with a new preface by the author that addresses many of the provocative arguments raised by its initial publication, ""Professing Literature"" remains an essential history of literary pedagogy and a critical classic.
