Lively, engaged, compassionate, witty, and honest.

The author offers numerous practical suggestions for applying his discoveries to the classroom. -- Dale Salwak, Professor of English, Citrus College, USA

Collier has managed to write a book that exemplifies the virtues he appears to associate with literature: sensitivity, empathy, and a spirit of inquiry. * English: Journal of the English Association * Collier, fully aware that one book cannot replace years of trial and error in the classroom, has created a book that does acknowledge how hard teaching literature can be and how demoralizing it is when we cannot reach our students and pass on our passion to them. But he goes beyond sympathy and provides some realistic areas of teaching in a literature classroom that many instructors have probably never considered ... There are plenty of examples and strategies throughout Teaching Literature in the Real World that make the book so useful. * Teaching American Literature: A Journal of Theory and Practice * “Lively, engaged, compassionate, witty, and honest.
