link to Agatha Christie short story

Please read "The Tuesday Night Club"--the first story in this collection, which is available in its entirety from this preview link.

formatting note (FYI)

Names of books; publications (newspapers, magazines); TV series; full-length plays; and book-length collections of prose, poetry, or drama all should be italicized or underlined. Titles of short stories, individual poems, articles, episodes of TV shows, songs, and one-act plays should be put in quotation marks.

Link to Sherlock Holmes

Here's the link to the PDF of "The Six Napoleons." Please print this and bring to class; I'd like us to have the same pagination.

adjustments to syllabus

The syllabus with adjustments is published on the right sidebar. Check it out. Highlights: we will discuss film adaptation and the upcoming paper on Monday, 10/18. Bring any questions you have about the paper. We will end with an introduction to Joseph Conrad and move on to The Secret Agent on Wednesday.

I have moved the discussion of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie to 10/27 (they are short, and should be easy reads as you're finishing your papers). The war poems (Owen and Sassoon) will be discussed the week after Thanksgiving.
