Lauter addresses such crucial concerns as what students should read and study, how standards of "quality" are defined and changed, the limits of theoretical discourse, and the ways race, gender, and class shape not only teaching, curricula, and research priorities, but collegiate personnel actions as well. The book examines critically the variety of recent proposals for "reforming" higher education, and it calls into question many practices like employing large numbers of part-timersnow popular with college managers. Offering concrete examples of a "comparative" method of teaching literary texts, and specific instances for "integrating" curricula, Canons and Contexts proposes realistic ideas for creating varied, spirited, and democratic classrooms and colleges. / Contents PART I The Canon and the Literary Profession Society and the Profession, 1958-83 Race and Gender in the Shaping of the American Literary Canon: A Case Study from the Twenties The Literatures of AmericaA Comparative Discipline Reconstructing American LiteratureCurricular Issues Teaching Nineteenth-Century American Women Writers The Two Criticismsor, Structure, Lingo, and Power in the Discourse of Academic Humanists Canon Theory and Emergent Practice PART II The University and The Republic RetrenchmentWhat the Managers Are Doing A Scandalous Misuse of FacultyAdjuncts Beyond Consciousness RaisingChanging Institutions University ReformThreat or Opportunity Looking a Gift Horse in the Mouth Whose Culture?
