The Routledge Companion to English Studies will re-define the discipline of English studies and provide an authoritative overview of this area. This book offers practical answers to the question: what do we do in English now that everything is in flux? It takes the form of an omnibus guide that manages to contain the busy, dynamic diversity of our energetic discipline long enough to get a snapshot of its many moving parts. It is therefore virtually indispensable as a resource for anyone wishing to attempt a universal understanding of what it means to study, teach and write about English Studies today, presented here in just about every one of its quickly developing new fields, forms and categories.? David Stacey, Humboldt State University, USA? The Routledge Companion to English Studies is a collection of contributions from a distinguished field of academics. What is striking is its range and depth: it covers wide conceptions of English as a school subject, a world language and a body of cultural referents that include literature and literary criticism in English (and in translation). The depth is gained from the fine critical insights of experts in the various inter-related fields. Constant Leung and Brian Street are to be congratulated on the quality of this book, which will stand as a point of reference for all those who wish to find authoritative voices in language studies, English and literacy education.
