The Impact of Alcoholism: The Writer, the Story, the Student.
Starling, Roy
College Teaching, v38 n3 p88-95 Sum 1990
College teachers can help students rethink two stereotypes emerging in American literature classes--the self-destructive writer who must necessarily be addicted, and the beer-guzzling, wild-partying college student--through an examination of the impact of alcoholism on the author's life. A course on Tennessee Williams illustrates the approach. (MSE)
