The volume Approaches to Teaching the Epic of Gilgamesh, edited by David Damrosch and Sophus Helle, is now in development in the MLA series Approaches to Teaching World Literature. Instructors who have taught this work are encouraged to contribute to the volume by completing a survey about their experiences. Information about proposing an essay is available at the end of the survey.



At the end of the survey are details to propose articles for the volume:
