In high schools and colleges, \u003ci\u003eThe Plague\u003c\/i\u003e is taught in courses on literature, language, philosophy, theology, political science, and history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume, like others in the MLA's Approaches to Teaching World Literature series, is divided into two parts. The first part, \"Materials,\" reviews French and English editions of \u003ci\u003eThe Plague\u003c\/i\u003e and of other works by Camus, reference works, background studies, and audiovisual aids. In the second part, \"Approaches,\" Germaine Brée's prologue reflecting on Camus's career in North American academe is followed by essays suggesting ways to present \u003ci\u003eThe Plague\u003c\/i\u003e in the classroom. The first essay situates \u003ci\u003eThe Plague\u003c\/i\u003e in a world literature survey; the next ten contributors discuss teaching the novel in courses on French literature; in the study of philosophy, law, and medicine; and within the novel's historical, biographical, and geographical contexts. A final essay by Mary Ann Caws offers personal observations on the relevance of Camus's oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven G.
