Readings for English 1302
Text: Literature: An Introduction to Reading and Writing, 5th compact edition, Edgar V. Roberts and Robert Zeig.
This is subject to revision – actually, it’s a turgid mess -but this will get you started.
Our first reading will be a translation of “The Seafarer” in modern English. I will provide this as a class handout, and it is available for free on numerous sites on the ‘net. After that, we’re in the book. These bits are not necessarily in order, will usually be read before class (welcome to the joys of initiative; any college class requires much outside reading), and the page numbers may vary depending on the edition you own:
