Abstract
ABSTRACT This narrative inquiry explores the author’s attempt to teach Henry James’s novella The Turn of the Screw in a high school English class, making the celebration of confusion – in the tradition of John Dewey – the cornerstone of the experience. The students’ interpretive discourse is analysed, prompting reflection on promising approaches, opportunities, and challenges connected with teaching difficult literary texts in high school and introductory college courses.
