Published: ‘Writing a Teaching Book’, in Pedagogy and Profession

I have a new article out in Pedagogy and Profession this week, ‘Writing a Teaching Book‘. In it, I think pragmatically back on the process of writing How to Read Middle English Poetry. Here’s the abstract:

Practical challenges deter scholars from writing single-author teaching books, but such books offer chances to think about pedagogy. This article describes some of the choices made in the writing of a teaching book, How to Read Middle English Poetry. It is presented not as a set of final rulings on best practice, but as an account of decisions made, to lift the lid on the work and support the creation of more teaching tools in future.

I hope this report will help anyone in the field coming to the task of writing a single-author teaching book in future!
