Approaches to Teaching Woolf's to the Lighthouse

By Beth Rigel Daugherty and Mary Beth Pringle

Book Overview

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.
