What Reviewers Are Saying
Milton Burke is clearly a master teacher, knowledgeable about his subject matter, but also about what works in the classroom, and by what works, I mean not only what helps students learn Dante, but more importantly what reading Dante can help students learn about themselves and their world. . . . The focus is on Dante, but the takeaway, the approach, can be applied to the teaching of any subject." -From the foreword by Bill Stephany, professor emeritus of English, University of Vermont
"Milton Burke's Words Unbound makes the valuable contribution of providing a single reference manual for teachers interested in incorporating Dante's poem into their high school literature courses." - Elizabeth Coggeshall, Florida State University
