Teaching the Early Modern Period

This innovative project unites leading scholars of English, History and French to examine the challenges of teaching early modern literature, history and culture within higher education. The volume sets out a variety of approaches to teaching the period and aims to revitalize the connection between teaching and research.

'This book is an excellent addition to materials on pedagogy not simply for the early modern period but in general. The range of responses is fittingly diverse and much thought has been put into designing a well-crafted and innovative collection. The key importance of the volume is its geographical, disciplinary and cultural range. One of the great virtues of this book is its diversity, and it will appeal to scholars, postgraduates and teachers in the UK, USA, Europe and Australia.' - Jerome de Groot, University of Manchester, UK
