Recenzii

"Teaching the Cult of Literature is a highly successful undertaking, one full of rich cultural insights. Professor Guiney's principal objective is to demonstrate the construction and transmission of a specific literary pedagogy during the Third Republic in France. He sheds light on the key issue of nation building and French cultural identity, as well as the role of canon formation during this period. In his analysis of the pedagogy underlying the teaching at both the primary and secondary levels of the curriculum, he shows quite well this pedagogy constituted an urgent national mission and to what extent evangelism was inherent in republican schooling: the literary cult was indeed an integral part of the national cult. This book will surely represent a major contribution to French cultural studies." - Ralph Albanese, Dunavant Professor of French at The University of Memphis
"Teaching the Cult of Literature in the French Third Republic is a wholly engaging and valuable contribution to the cultural history of education, to understanding the emergence of literature as secular scripture - and to understanding contemporary culture wars, in France and in the U.S. Guiney's account is based in extensive scholarship, and also eminently readable." - Peter Brooks, University Professor, University of Virginia
