Beskrivning
This collection of essays offers a range of pedagogical tools and tips for new and experienced teachers of poetry at the university level. Centred around a core commitment to the study of poetic close reading, the volume shows how different practitioners respond to the challenge of close reading in a host of exciting ways, often using pioneering pedagogy to vitalise the language and formal mechanics of poetry for undergraduates. It brings together authors from a range of scholarly and professional backgrounds, each of whom offer different teaching techniques drawn from their experience. The scope of the book is interdisciplinary, with a heightened sense of the interconnectedness between academic disciplines, from an exploration of poetic close reading and the social sciences, to communal close reading using electronic learning aids. This book will invigorate the study of poetic language for new generations of students, learners, teachers and readers.
