Sobre este áudio
This book recreates in written form seventeen of the most popular, frankly personal and engaging lectures on literature given by the award-winning teacher Richard Jacobs, who has been working with students for over forty years.
This is a book written for students, whether starting their studies or more experienced, and also for all lovers of literature. At its heart is the conviction that reading, thinking about, and writing or talking about literature involves us all personally: texts talk to us intimately and urgently, inviting us to talk back, intervening in and changing our lives. These lectures discuss, in an open but richly informed way, a wide range of texts that are regularly studied and enjoyed. They model what it means to be excited about reading and studying literature, and how the study of literature can be life-changing—perhaps even with the effect of changing the lives of listeners of this eloquent and remarkable book.

"In this intimate, accessible and passionate book, Richard Jacobs shows us why reading literature matters and how it can change our lives." -- Will Norman, University of Kent
"Richard Jacobs’ lectures give personal warmth to critical expertise. Literature in Our Lives is a wonderful model of how to think about literature. This book provides an approachable introduction for beginners and a stimulating companion for advanced literary scholars." -- Rachel Trousdale, Framingham State University
"The studies published here, while impeccably rigorous and forensic, have a deeply appealing thread of personal memories and enthusiasm…Literature in our Lives is a reminder of the best tradition of literary criticism, an ongoing conversation, and recalled for me the memorable lessons, tutorials and lectures that helped me to find the place that literature has in my own life. I would warmly recommend the book to anyone wishing to see the kind of directions literary discussions can take." -- Malcolm Hebron, The Use of English 72.2
