Approaches to Teaching Victor Hugo's ‘Les Misérables’

A new entry in the Modern Language Association of America's prestigious 'Approaches to Teaching World Literature' series, this edited volume features over 20 essays on pedagogy across a variety of themes and course types, in addition to an extensive teaching and learning materials section. This book challenges the unhelpful perception that Hugo's epic novel is too long and sprawling to teach to university and high-school students through a dynamic range of strategies and critical angles.
