At the Far Reach of Their Capacities by Peter Adams is a groundbreaking exploration into creative engagement with literature for English teachers and students. This insightful book, published by Phoenix Education, challenges traditional pedagogical methods that typically prioritize discursive responses in literary analysis. Instead, Adams encourages educators to inspire students to connect with texts on a deeper emotional and intellectual level through imaginative writing. By fostering an environment where young writers can express themselves artistically, teachers can enhance student engagement and critical thinking skills. This innovative approach not only highlights the immense potential of students to think creatively but also demonstrates their ability to explore literature’s significance personally. Discover the powerful pieces of writing within this book that showcase students working ‘at the far reach of their capacities’ and redefine the way literature is taught in classrooms. Perfect for educators committed to nurturing creativity and enhancing literary analysis, this paperback edition, released on 28-08-2013, is a must-have for those looking to transform their teaching methods and develop a more impactful literary curriculum.

What if, Peter Adams asks in this important and original book, as English teachers, instead of always requiring our students to respond discursively to the literary texts that they encounter in our classrooms — by asking them to analyse, compare, describe, evaluate, explain or to defend a set position with a series of arguments — we were to offer them opportunities to sustain and deepen their engagement with those texts, both intellectual and emotional, by writing about them in creative-imaginative ways? What if, in Robert Witkin’s resonant phrase, we were to ask them “to make an artistic response to the artistic work of others”?
The result is evident in the remarkable pieces of writing which form the heart of this book, pieces of writing which not only show young writers working “at the far reach of their capacities” but which represent a deeply thoughtful, sustained and personal exploration of the significance of the work in question.
