English Studies Beyond the 'Center'

Teaching Literature and the Future of Global English addresses the shape of English studies beyond the ‘center’ by analyzing how the discipline has developed and considers how lessons from this analysis relate to the discipline as a whole. The book aims to open a cross-disciplinary conversation that will help literature faculty recalibrate, and provoke Anglosphere universities into rethinking the meaning of the English major. It also reasserts the case for literary studies, not by resurrecting humanistic rhetoric of universalized moral education, but by arguing for ways in which literary pedagogy can see itself as part of a newly configured discipline._x005F_x005F_x000D_
