LITERATURE PROJECT
Below, you will find a list of authors from the ancients to the present. All of these authors are in the textbook, Norton Anthology of World Literature: Pre-1650 and Post-1650, 5th edition, vols. A, B, C, D, E, and F. The page number for each author or work follows the entry in parenthesis. Select only from the authors and works listed here. For longer works, I have written a suggestion of what you should cover when analyzing the work.
Each student will study one of the authors and/or works from this list. To sign up for one of these selections, please create a new discussion thread and write the author's name in the "Subject" box of the discussion thread.
Before you sign up, be sure to read names of the authors already selected. Every student must do a different author or work if no author is listed. If someone else has chosen the selection you pick, then I will have to delete your selection, and you will need to pick another.
For detailed information on how to prepare this research project, please see the Literary Research Project assignment menu folder.
