Liwen Zhang – SUNY Press, 2024
Is the novel a category of knowledge that merits serious study? Even if the novel has shed the stigma of being mindless entertainment, one might easily assume that reading a novel is not "studying," unless one reads closely and carefully, preferably from a scholarly edition or for a scholarly purpose.

Moore, Tara – Children's Literature in Education, 2023
Students in the English Language Arts classroom have access to more author commentary than ever.

This essay explains how educators can introduce basic aspects of…

Arnold, Jackie Marshall; Sableski, Mary-Kate – Journal of Children's Literature, 2020
Sharing literature representative of students' diverse experiences opens up conversations, invites inquiry, and develops empathy (Ward & Warren, 2020). It is well documented, however, that these books can be challenging to locate in schools, libraries, and bookstores (Bickmore, Xu, & Sheridan, 2017; Crisp et al., 2016; Jipson & Paley,…

Ortells, Elena – English Language Teaching, 2020
Students' imperfect grasp of the target language is cited by educators as one of the main tenets and conundrums against the use of real literature in the EFL classroom.

Glover, Margaret – English in Education, 2018
This article is a discussion of some aspects of reader response. It attempts to track the development of various theories: from the view of the text as an entity set in stone, through structuralist and phenomenological arguments, to the point where the text becomes a virtual dimension. But not only is the importance of the text within the literary…
