Choose from the following essay suggestions. You may create your own topic, with approval, if you consult me before April. You must use secondary sources appropriate to your topic in both focus and quantity. Your paper should demonstrate a grasp of both the primary text(s) you choose to write on and the critical materials available. This means that you must show an understanding of the reliability of critical materials, how to find scholarly criticism, and an ability to judge whether a work is dated or current. While some topics will have more or less critical materials available than others, you must include TWO sources from FDU’s Online Library as a minimum—papers that do not demonstrate familiarity with the Online Library resources will not receive a grade. You may also wish to consider biographical materials, letters, print history, journals, or other such sources as well. Your essay will be 7-8 pages, not including cover page and bibliography, and in MLA format.
