Good, motivated, well-read students can have trouble reading To the Lighthouse, admit the editors of this volume; not-so-well-read students may have even greater difficulty. Yet many instructors still find Woolf's fifth novel her most accessible because it grapples with issues that interest students. The essays in this collection show how teachers can handle the threatening question Why are we reading this? with thoughtful answers that make the novel come alive in the classroom.
Approaches to Teaching Woolf's To the Lighthouse will be accessible and useful to a continuum of college professors likely to teach the novel, including experienced scholars of modern literature, literature professors who don't usually read Woolf, and professors in nonliterary disciplines. --Jane Fisher, Associate Professor, Canisius College The essays present a wide range of interpretive and pedagogical approaches. This diversity will be stimulus to beginning instructors and a challenge to seasoned instructors, prompting us all to become more self-reflexive about what we do in the classroom. --Melba Cuddy-Keane, Associate Professor, University of Toronto at Scarborough
