Literary Knowing and the Making of English Teachers offers a thorough exploration of the relationship between literature, knowledge, and the professional identities of English teachers. The book engages fundamental questions about knowledge in the English classroom and presents a 3‐year longitudinal study involving 24 early‐career English teachers in Australia. Through interviews and a national survey, the authors provide a multivocal exploration of teachers' perceptions of literary knowledge, curriculum design, and their roles in mediating the relationship between students and texts. This thought‐provoking work highlights literature's formative role in shaping teachers' professional practices and identities while inviting readers to reflect on the broader debates surrounding literature's place in the English Language Arts classroom.
