Barbara Bteiman, Education Consultant and Co-Editor of emagazine, the
English and Media Centre
Doing English presents the ideas and debates that shape how we ‘do’
English today, explaining arguments about the value of literature, the canon,
Shakespeare, theory, politics and the subject itself.
In his lucid and engaging style, Robert Eaglestone:
• orients students by encouraging them to think about what they are doing
when they study literature;
• bridges the gap between English atA-leveland International Baccalaureate
to English in Higher Education by exploring traditional and theoretical
approaches to literature and explaining key ideas and trends;
• explains to students why English, more than any other subject, is the cause
of public debate and concern in the media and amongst politicians and
educators.
This popular and classic guide has been fully updated throughout to take
account of recent research, educational changes and current events, and it
now includes a chapter called ‘Why Study English?’ - showing how and why the
skills taught by English are transferable to a range of careers. This immensely
readable book is the ideal introduction to studying English Literature.
