These books will no doubt be found in the excellent bibliography of Felix Gilbert. Stylistics for both essays should conform to Turabian. The exam will feature three essay questions. A week or so before the exam, I shall make public 5-7 questions, from which I shall draw the three. The success of this class rests upon your participation.
Participation is a combination of preparation before class and engagement within the class.
Those who prove themselves consistently prepared and engaged will be rewarded. Anyone who does the reading, shows up to class, and contributes regularly to discussion will do well in this area. The unengaged will do poorly.
