FON American Literature Second Half Schedule
Except for “Trifles” and some of the writing materials, all of these selections should be in the course pack, although they may be in different sections of that pack. Let me know in advance if you find some materials have been accidentally omitted and I will make alternate arrangements to get them for you.
The page numbers here refer to McMichael, 9/ed., vol 2. +Many of the readings can also be found in the 1985 concise edition. Others are in the supplementary materials in the course pack. #These works can also be accessed online through Project Gutenberg, Wikisources, or the e-collections of the University of Adelaide and the Online Library.”Trifles” is on the web site. This schedule is tentative, subject to changes in the university events calendar. *Some may be deleted in the final listing.
On the following schedule, sessions marked JS are being conducted mainly by Dr. Jerry Siegel and those marked ES are being conducted by Ms. Elida Bahtijaroska. This schedule is subject to change; it will be incorporated within the next few weeks into a revised syllabus version which you will find at jerrysiegel.net. JS
