Instructors Manual

This manual for Literature Across Cultures addresses instructors teaching introductory literature courses who believe that the literary text demands an active response from the reader. The apparatus includes strategies for discussing literature in an interactive classroom, while urging students to use textual evidence to support their viewpoints about the literary texts. The suggested answers under "Textual Considerations," for example, encourage them to engage in debate as they explore with their peers the multiple possibilities of literary interpretations. In sum, all of the apparatus is aimed at assisting students to understand better the vital connections between literature and culture.
