In class this morning

I've printed out the Forum responses to the questions. We'll take a few minutes to read them, and the discuss them. I think it would make sense to continue this same process for Friday; there are some issue worth exploring further, and with a clarified notion of the sort of thing we know, don't know, and would be useful to know. Find some new sources. Add at least a couple of new postings to the Forum by Friday morning at 8:30.

Looking ahead

Our next reading is going to be Dryden's Essay of Dramatic Poesy. While browsing in Dryden, you should find a copy of it. We'll begin, for next Wednesday morning, by reading the opening section, down to where the four gentlemen agree to discuss drama rather than poetry in general, and agree they should start with a definition. When you've got that far, post a reflection on your reading, identifying as many questions generated by the text as you can. There will be a forum called Reading Dryden on Dramatic Poesy where you can post your reflection.

Post it before 8:00 Wednesday morning. Bring your edition of the Essay to class with you.
