The English Association: One Hundred Years On

摘要

The English Association has been one of those bodies I have been aware of but never really known much about: my first awareness came during study for English A level at school, and as someone who has retained an interest in English literature ever since it has cropped up on different occasions and at various times subsequently. So, one of the bonuses of reading and reviewing this history is to learn more about the Association. With a primarily educational focus, it clearly influenced strongly if indirectly my school studies. Through its publications and activities it has focused influentially on the teaching of English at various levels, advice and approaches that would have been passed on by my teachers.
