E301 Instructor's Blog Home Page

Welcome to English 301, Intro to Literary Theory and Criticism

Spring 2009 at Chapman University in Orange, California

This blog will offer posts on all of the authors on our syllabus. It contains general and page-by-page notes as appropriate. Both kinds are optional reading. While the entries are not intended as exact replicas of my lecture notes, they should prove helpful in your engagement with the authors. They may also help you arrive at paper topics and prepare for the final exam. Unless otherwise noted, the edition used for our selections is Leitch, Vincent, ed. The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism, 1st ed. New York: Norton, 2001. ISBN 0393974294.

A dedicated menu at my Wiki site contains the necessary information for students enrolled in this course; when the semester has ended, this blog will remain online, and a copy of the syllabus will remain in the Archive menu.
