Book Synopsis
In recent years, the works of a number of previously obscure British women writers have been incorporated into the curriculum, disrupting traditional pedagogical assumptions about what constitutes "literature." In this volume, 20 contributions from American and European academics offer strategies for teaching these newly recovered writers. They also discuss some of the ways in which covering this material can affect one's academic career in various types of institutions. The volume is not indexed.
