1. You are not required to read the listed texts before the lectures but you are required to know them for the exam (to the extent they were discussed during the lecture). You are required to read the assigned texts BEFORE the class. Please bring the texts both to lectures and classes.

2. Most of the assigned poems are available in The Norton Anthology of English Literature which is the obligatory handbook. While all the poems are easily available on the Internet, they are usually plain vanilla versions without footnotes, without which you may find many of them incomprehensible.

3. The assigned texts are accompanied by study guides which will be published on my website. Read the study guides together with the assigned texts and spend a moment thinking about the possible answers.
