‘Facts alone are wanted in life,’ exclaims Mr Gradgrind at the begin-
ning of Dickens Hard Tims. Literature is not about facts alone, and
- despite two and a half thousand years of arguments - no one can
agree on what it is, or how to study it. But, argues Robert Eaglestone,
it is precisely the open-ended nature of literature that makes it such
a rewarding and useful subject.
Eaglestone shows that studying literature can change who you
are, turningyou from a ‘reader’ into a ‘critic’: someone attuned to the
ways we make meaning in our world. Literature is a living conversa-
tion which provides endless opportunities to rethink and reinterpret
our societies and ourselves. With examples ranging from Sappho to
Skyrim, this book shows how literature offers freer and deeper ways
of thinking and being.
