Abstract: | The apparent contradictions between different strands of conservative thinking on education have been particularly clear recently in relation to 16–19 English, where a reactionary insistence on the "gold standard" of traditional A Level English Literature, and traditional literary study in general, sits uncomfortably alongside an aggressive promotion of vocationalist modernisation. This article discusses the connections between the two, and offers an example of a practical alternative to both. |
