Abstract

David Anderson discusses the challenges of developing a literary school curriculum in the later 20th century and the debates between “the ideal of literary nationalism and the needs for local, regional identity”. Anderson shares his personal experience developing curriculum and teaching regional literature at Hiram College, arguing that “minor literature” can be hidden “good literature”.
