In this edition, Phelps outlines his passionate views on teaching as an exciting adventure for young minds based on the idea that literature sits at the heart of knowledge.

He was the first scholar to teach a university course on the modern novel at Yale, which became increasingly popular due to his engaging teaching manner. In the book, Phelps uses literature as the background for the argument and illustrates that teaching is essentially an art, expressing many of his observations throughout the chapters.
