Description

This Routledge book presents a compelling argument for why literature remains essential in secondary education despite growing emphasis on STEM disciplines and standardisation. The author examines the interconnections between English education, cognitive science, and current policy trends, whilst drawing on cognitive literary studies research to demonstrate how narrative reading develops critical thinking and emotional intelligence. Through analysis of the humanities-sciences culture wars and contemporary educational challenges, the book makes a persuasive case that teaching fiction in middle and secondary classrooms cultivates skills and perspectives that scientific objectivity alone cannot achieve. Designed for educators, policymakers, and anyone invested in defending the humanities in modern schools.

Key Features

The book provides critical examination of how STEM prioritisation affects literature instruction in secondary English classrooms.

Drawing on cognitive literary studies research, it demonstrates measurable cognitive benefits of narrative reading for students.

Addresses the ongoing culture wars between humanities and sciences within educational policy and practice.

Offers practical arguments for school leaders and educators defending literature programmes against standardisation pressures.

Analyses current educational trends that marginalise English literature teaching in contemporary secondary schools.
