Its innovative quality consists in juxtaposing a variety of literary analyses of selected stories with two other ways of looking at her fiction: the perspectives of film adaptation and of pedagogy. The book is divided into three parts which mirror the key words in the title: understanding, adapting and teaching. Part One consists of four articles on various aspects of Munro's short fiction from a literary perspective. Part Two - four essays - addresses editing and film adaptations of Munro's stories (both television and feature films). Part Three consists of an essay on didactic aspects of Munro's fiction and of several interviews with teachers of Canadian literature who have included stories by Munro in their syllabi.Issues in Literature and Culture,2365-967XLanguage and educationArt educationLanguage Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O23000Creativity and Arts Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O11000Language and education.Art education.Language Education.Creativity and Arts Education.813.54Buchholtz Mirosławaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910255157203321Alice Munro1071756UNINA
