Rezensionen

"This really is a genealogical exploration of English education - this is the history of every English teacher and where we came from. Tracing the patterns and evolutions of thought about literacy and literature education, it is saturated with knowledge."

Victoria Elliott, Associate Professor of English and Literacy Education, University of Oxford, UK

"A fascinating, timely and important (English) curriculum story, well told, this innovative book about English teaching today ranges from the Scottish Enlightenment to Dartmouth and beyond. With perhaps its most striking feature being its history of ideas approach and tracing various twists and 'turns' in the subject, the authors are to be congratulated on creatively and comprehensively opening up the view, in a way that enriches scholarship and pedagogy alike. Required reading for 21st century English teaching."

Bill Green, Emeritus Professor, Charles Sturt University, New South Wales, Australia
