Unpacking post-structuralism's role in English education.
If the dense terrain of literary theory intrigues you, "Textual Power" by Robert E. Scholes might just be the compass you need. Scholes provides an accessible entry point into the complex ideas of figures like Derrida and Jameson, demonstrating how these theories can practically reshape the way we approach teaching English literature. It's an enlightening read that could change the way you perceive texts and their meanings within the classroom.
