Critical Theory and The English Teacher: Transforming the Subject
In this radical exploration, Nick Peim, himself a practising English teacher, shows how teachers can use critical theory to bring students' own experience back into the subject.

The book is written in a style which even those with no background in critical theory will find approachable, and arguments are backed up with practical classroom examples.
