He argues for the importance of reading and writing to an examined and fruitful life and affirms the invaluable role of teachers in opening up fresh paths for their students. In his series of books Why Read?, Why Teach?, and Why Write? Edmundson explored the vital worldly roles of reading, teaching, and writing, earning a vocal following of writers, teachers, and scholars at the top of their fields, from novelist Tom Perrotta to critics Laura Kipnis and J. Hillis Miller. Now for the first time The Heart of the Humanities collects into one volume this triad of impassioned arguments, including an introduction from the author on the value of education in the present and for the future. The perfect gift for students, recent graduates, writers, teachers, and anyone interested in education and the life of the mind, this omnibus edition will make a powerful and timely case for strengthening the humanities both in schools and in our society. --cProvided by publisher. 0aHumanitiesxStudy and teaching (Higher) 0aEducation, HigherxAims and objectiveszUnited States. 0aLiteraturexStudy and teaching (Higher) 0aRhetoricxStudy and teaching (Higher) 7aEducation, HigherxAims and objectives.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00903015 7aHumanitiesxStudy and teaching.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00963631 7aRhetoricxStudy and teaching.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01096971 7aUnited States.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01204155
