"Teaching Lawrence is problematic because of the strong responses he arouses in readers, " observe the editors of this collection of essays. Lawrence's forceful language, imagery, and rhythms can make readers feel they are being attacked or challenged. In essays that attempt to "suggest the rich intellectual possibilities inherent in teaching material that generates such heat, " contributors in this Approaches volume describe ways to encourage students to read more closely, accurately, and sensitively and t learn how to complicate their reading.
