Readings for the rest of the semester

Here are the readings for the remainder of the semester:


Tues: Nov. 27: Items from the "War writing" folder in library (poems by Kipling, Owens, Pope)
Thurs: Silmarilion. Skim the preface, read the "AinulindalĂ«,” and “Valaquenta” and the Beren and Luthien chapter of the “Quenta Silmarilion.” For comparison, you may want to refresh your memory of Sir Orfeo and look over some Paradise Lost if you have a copy and have the time.

Tues., Dec. 4: “Leaf by Niggle” and “Farmer Giles of Ham” from the Tolkien Reader. I didn’t get a copy of “Smith of Wooton Major” made, so we’ll skip it.

Wed., Dec. 5: Submit your paper as an MS Word doc or rtf file in Blackboard. Go to the “Assignments” Content Area to do this. If you have Word 7.0 you will need to save your file as an earlier version of Word (.doc extention); if you have Word Perfect you will need to save it as an .rtf file.

Thurs. Dec. 6: Readings from the “Retro-Medievalism” folder on reserve in the library (Kipling and Morris).

Don’t forget to go fill out a course evaluation in Norma Wells’ office next week!!!
