    Degree Project The School Canon A Study about a Possible School Canon of English Literature at Swedish Upper Secondary Schools Author:Emma Johansson Supervisor:Per Sivefors Examiner: Anna Greek Semester: Autumn 2012 Course code: GO1304 Date of submission: 2013-01-10 Abstract The purpose of this essay has been to examine whether there is a school canon for fiction in the teaching of English at upper secondary schools in Sweden and how such a canon takes shape. The study has been carried out by compiling lists of books and interviewing teachers in the region of western Kronoberg. There turned out to be a number of books that were recurring in the schools such as Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and Stone Cold by Robert Swindells. The study found a few patterns in the school canon which the mentioned titles fit well into. The books of the school canon turned out to mainly be either classics or youth novels. It was also found that the books of the school canon mainly portrayed the Anglo-Saxon world and that the main characters were mostly boys/men which the school canon has in common with the Western canon. The theoretical approach has been that of cultural capital as presented by John Guillory. His ideas of canon formation, which is mainly focused on the Western canon, are compared to the formation of a school canon. This essay claims that the shaping of the school canon has some things in common with Guillory’s ideas of canon formation but since the school canon has a clear purpose in that the literature has to be suitable for teaching and teachers in interviews claim universities are losing influence over school’s literature selection, teaching aspects play a greater part in the shaping of a school canon.

  • The Goodreads “Classics”: a Computational Study of Readers, Amazon, and Crowdsourced Amateur Criticism Melanie Walsh and Maria Antoniak
    Journal of April 20, 2021 Cultural Analytics The Goodreads “Classics”: A Computational Study of Readers, Amazon, and Crowdsourced Amateur Criticism Melanie Walsh and Maria Antoniak Melanie Walsh, Cornell University Maria Antoniak, Cornell University Peer-Reviewer: Katherine Bode Data Repository: 10.7910/DVN/GJYYKE A B S T R A C T This essay examines how Goodreads users define, discuss, and debate “classic” literature by computationally analyzing and close reading more than 120,000 user reviews. We begin by exploring how crowdsourced tagging systems like those found on Goodreads have influenced the evolution of genre among readers and amateur critics, and we highlight the contemporary value of the “classics” in particular. We identify the most commonly tagged “classic” literary works and find that Goodreads users have curated a vision of literature that is less diverse, in terms of the race and ethnicity of authors, than many U.S. high school and college syllabi. Drawing on computational methods such as topic modeling, we point to some of the forces that influence readers’ perceptions, such as schooling and what we call the classic industry — industries that benefit from the reinforcement of works as classics in other mediums and domains like film, television, publishing, and e-commerce (e.g., Goodreads and Amazon). We also highlight themes that users commonly discuss in their reviews (e.g., boring characters) and writing styles that often stand out in them (e.g., conversational and slangy language). Throughout the essay, we make the case that computational methods and internet data, when combined, can help literary critics capture the creative explosion of reader responses and critique algorithmic culture’s effects on literary history.

  • Children's Literature in Translation
    ti&t 02 02 translation interpreting and transfer For many of us, our earliest and most meaningful experiences with literature occur through the medium of a translated in translation literature children’s children’s book. This volume focuses on the complex interplay that happens between text and context when works of children’s literature are translated. What contexts of production and reception account for how translated children’s books come to be made and read as they are? How are translated children’s books adapted to suit the context of a new culture? Spanning the disciplines of Children’s Literature Studies and Translation Studies, this book brings together established and emerging voices to provide an overview of the analytical, empirical and geographic richness of current research in the field, and to identify and reflect on common insights, analytical perspectives and trajectories for future interdisciplinary research. This volume will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience of scholars and students in Translation Studies and Children’s children’s literature Literature Studies and related disciplines. It has a broad geographic and cultural scope, with contributions dealing with translated children’s literature in the United Kingdom, van coillie and mcmartin (eds) coillie van in translation the United States, Ireland, Spain, France, Brazil, Poland, Slovenia, Hungary, the former Yugoslavia, Sweden, Germany, texts and contexts and Belgium.

  • Exclusively from Signet Classics
    A Note to Our Readers Like the fine wine in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Beautiful and Damned (Introduction by Jay Parini, Afterword by Ruth Prigozy), classic literature gets better with age. A classic is timeless. It endures despite changing trends and dares to reach beyond the scope of its cultural moment. Each of our beloved Signet Classics, from Edwin Abbott to Virginia Woolf, embodies that elusive and compelling staying power. Reacquaint yourself with the classic stories you’ve grown up with, like L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables (Afterword by Jennifer Lee Carroll) and Andersen’s Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen (Introduction by Poul Houe, Afterword by Joanne Greenberg), where each reading brings new discoveries. For characters who are timeless in a more literal sense, pick up J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan (Afterword by Alison Lurie) for adventures with the boy who won’t grow up. Or test your courage with Bram Stoker’s Dracula in Signet Classic’s horror collection (which also includes Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as well as an Introduction by Stephen King) and stare down the Immortal Count—an old evil forever new. Or explore the dangers of cheating time in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Three Stories (Introduction by Gary Schmidgall, Afterword by Peter Raby). Some classics are windows into the past, such as The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave by Frederick Douglass (Introduction by Peter J. Gomes, Afterword by Gregory Stephens) or Great Dialogues of Plato (Introduction by Matthew S.

  • I Organise the Teaching of English at Queen's, As Well As Teaching the Literature Courses at the Modern End of the Syllabus
    Congratulations on being offered a place at Queen's! I organise the teaching of English at Queen's, as well as teaching the literature courses at the modern end of the syllabus. Although you will be taught by a variety of tutors with different specialisms during your time at Oxford, I’ll be advising you and organising your English tutorials for you throughout the course. You’ll be studying two papers in English in the first year: Introduction to English Language and Literature (Paper 1), and your choice of one of the following papers: Early Medieval Literature, 650- 1350 (Paper 2), Literature in English, 1830-1910 (Paper 3), and Literature in English, 1910 to the present day (Paper 4). Reading lists are attached. You will study Paper 3 in Michaelmas (autumn) term, and Paper 4 in Hilary (spring). Classes for both your English papers will run throughout the first two terms, followed by revision work in the third term. Given the pressure of work in term, it is vital that you read the primary texts for both papers before you arrive in Oxford: you will not have time to read the ‘primary texts’ (the novels, plays and poetry) for the first time, as well as the ‘secondary texts’ (criticism on the primary material) that you’ll be researching too. You’ll find that many of these works are much more enjoyable and easier to follow if you devote extended periods of quality reading time to them. Remember to take good notes. I recommend taking notes on a separate piece of paper or notebook, or in the front or back of the book (remember to list page numbers!), rather than simply underlining passages as you read, which makes it difficult to revisit your ideas.

It is a qualitative study based on interviews with six teachers, all of them at upper secondary school. The classic literature of the English-speaking world has done much in shaping Western society as we know it, and thus it is important for the students of English as a second language to have at least some knowledge of the literature of the past. The syllabuses for English B and C also require it. My findings were that the teachers interviewed all saw classic texts as very important but challenging. Therefore, the texts introduced must suit the needs and interests of the students. There is also a language barrier to consider. However, classic texts can also be introduced through the use of films. Key words: English as a foreign language, classic literature, teacher views and attitudes, teacher experience 3 4 Contents Introduction 7 Aim and research questions 7 Background 8 Connecting the classics to the syllabus 9 What is a classic? 11 Method 13 Procedure 15 Previous research 16 The results of the study 18 Discussion 26 Conclusion 30 Bibliography 32 Appendix 1 34 Appendix 2 35 5 6 Introduction The fact that the classic literature of the English speaking world is of great importance is something no one should be able to contradict.
