Reading Lessons - An English Teacher's Love Letter to the Books that Make Us

Carol Atherton has been teaching English for nearly three decades. In Reading Lessons she explores literature and its transformative power, in the classroom and beyond. She shows how staples of the GCSE curriculum such as My Last Duchess and An Inspector Calls evolve with each new generation of readers and open a door not only to great literature but also to increased empathy and understanding. This would make a great gift for teachers and students of literature and anyone who has experienced the life-enhancing joy of reading.
