Approaches to Teaching Dickens's Bleak House
Bleak House provides students and teachers occasion to discuss Victorian social concerns involving law, crime, family, education, and money and to learn about every stratum of English society, from the aristocracy to the homeless. The essays in this volume offer instructors an array of practical strategies for use in the classroom: some describe courses organised exclusively around Bleak House; others offer ideas for teaching a single scene or topic in the novel.
