Description: Professing Literature : An Institutional History, Paperback by Graff, Gerald, ISBN 0226305597, ISBN-13 9780226305592, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK 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. &;Graff&;s history. . . is a pathbreaking investigation showing how our institutions shape literary thought and proposing how they might be changed.&;&; The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism
