The Joys of Teaching Literature, started in September 2010 and with a Spanish version since July 2021, is a blog for ranting and raving about teaching and researching English Literature, Cultural Studies, and Gender Studies, and other aspects of the Anglophone world.

The comments option is not available, sorry, but you may contact me through my e-mail address, Sara.Martin@uab.cat.
