{"product_id":"approaches-to-teaching-the-works-stephen-burn-9781603293914","title":"Approaches to Teaching the Works of David Foster Wallace","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Foster Wallace's works engaged with his literary moment--roughly summarized as postmodernism--and with the author's historical context. From the famous complexity of novels such as \u003ci\u003eInfinite Jest\u003c\/i\u003e to the direct critique of American culture in his essays, his works have at their core basic themes, such as self-understanding, connecting with others, ethical behavior, and finding meaning. The essays in this volume suggest ways to elucidate Wallace's philosophical and literary preoccupations as students continue to contend with urgent issues, both personal and political, through reading literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1, \"Materials,\" offers guidance on editions of Wallace's works and critical responses to them. The essays in part 2, \"Approaches,\" discuss teaching key works and genres in high schools, first-year undergraduate writing classes, American literature surveys, and world literature classes. They examine Wallace's social and philosophical contexts and contributions, treating topics such as gender, literary ethics, and the culture of writing programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Burn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1603293914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603293914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Language Association of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Stephen Burn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938641412351,"sku":"9781603293914","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8fe55c0c-6bec-4c8e-a5aa-8b0a8430ecc1.jpg?v=1681436888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/approaches-to-teaching-the-works-stephen-burn-9781603293914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
