Abstract

Abstract Discussing the conventional teaching of literature versus an alternative one, a new viewpoint is brought by Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (1983). Considering that we have different ways of increasing knowledge, of learning, we thought of a way of developing these intelligences through literature: the practical approach refers to literary texts studied from all these perspectives.
