Declaration of Intent

So this week, in Renaissance and Restoration, I will be doing Thomas More’s Utopia. I’ve begun by reading the 30-page introduction and hope to give it a preliminary reading by tonight. I have, in fact, spent most of today 

a. doing nothing and 

b. reading a chapter of the Good Study Guide, explaining how to approach primary texts, which is actually very very useful.

I am also planning to do Wordsworth, in Augustans and Romantics, since I have the necessary books and all. I’m actually looking forward to it, since I like Wordsworth, and I like reading poetry(even though analysing it is beyond me. For now, anyway).

For Victorians, I begin with Robert Browning(gasp, more poetry). I know next to nothing about the Victorian period, having done no background research on it, but I will. This should be fun. :D

Finally, for Varieties of English DX. I still don’t have the book, still haven’t ordered it off of Flipkart. I must be out of my mind! But it’s okay, since I have two of the other set texts, and the study guide to start me off. I’ll just pad my knowledge once the actual book arrives. I suppose.

Now to start! :D
