Bibliography for Secondary Presentation Topics

You are neither confined to the bibliographical references outlined under the topics nor required to cover all of the items listed. However, those references highlighted in ochre-colored type must be discussed in the body of your talk.

In those instances where I have placed a "(P)" in front of the entry, you must include a short precis or summary of the text. In the case of poetry, be prepared to talk in depth about the piece(s) and, where feasible, bring enough copies for your colleagues to read in class.

I have placed double asterisks (**) prior to items that will prove especially helpful in assembling material for your talk.
