520 $a"In Teaching Particulars, Helaine Smith engages her students, grammar school through twelfth grade--and any avid reader--in the questions that great literary works elicit. Included are essays on plays by Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Beckett; stories by James, Poe, Twain, Tolstoy, Mann, and Kafka; poems by Herbert, Coleridge, Lowell, Larkin, Bishop, and Hecht; and essays by Baldwin, Lamb, E.B. White, and Arieti. Whether Helaine Smith is talking to young or older students, she shows how any devoted reader can uncover all sorts of subtle beauty and meaning by reading closely and by assuming that virtually every word and phrase of a great author is deliberate. The question-and-answer form of these jargon-free dialogues creates the feeling of a vibrant classroom where learning and delight are the watchwords."--$cProvided by publisher.
