It intervenes in current debates about the future of English Studies, the Arts and Humanities, and the university itself. Bringing together a proposal for English to be understood as a 'boundary practice'; an exploration of the study-guide genre; an account of Derrida's 'the university without condition'; a case study of English and 'employability'; a consideration of how the subject might negotiate current technological changes and government interventions; and the dilemma of cognitive literary criticism and the relationship between English in Higher Education and Secondary Education, contributors to this volume draw out pedagogical ideals that lie at the heart of English Studies, tracing, in the face of current challenges, historical and contemporary debates surrounding English Studies in the university.--Provided by publisher 650 0 $a English literature $x Study and teaching (Higher) $z Great Britain. 700 1 $a Gildea, Niall, $e editor. 830 0 $a Palgrave pivot. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826105402.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BBFE96146B5611E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
