Welcome to the Course!

This is the official class blog for British Literature to 1800, Fall 2022 semester at East Central University. As I mentioned in class and on the syllabus, all your daily work and readings will appear here, as well as assignments and other announcements. You never have to post or interact with the blog; rather, it's a virtual bulletin board for the class, and should keep you up-to-date when you miss class or when you have a thousand other things going on.

Make sure to buy the books for the class as soon as you can, since we'll be reading them at a decent clip, in this order: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Canterbury Tales, As You Like It, Pamela, and Northanger Abbey. All of the books are in the bookstore, but you can use any edition if you already have some of these, though they might be different translations (the first two are translated), and the Folger edition of Shakespeare is the most helpful for novice readers of his plays.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns at: jgrasso@ecok.edu, or come by my office after class: Horace Mann 348 (right beside our classroom). 

ALSO: Don't worry about the posts below this one--they're from 2018! The first post for our class will be up on Wednesday.
