Introduction to Western Literature

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Although class does not officially start until next week, I do want to give all of my students the opportunity to do some preparation in advance. The first lession will be a discussion on the common forms of western literature. The second lession will be the first of two on the Old English edda Beowulf. I would like to encourage all of you to begin reading it (a modern translation, if you must).

Also, following the first class I'll be scheduling appointments to discuss the position of teacher's assistant, for any of you who might be interested.

Your questions about the course are quite welcome. Please feel free to leave a message on my voicemail or come by my shop in town.

Both Paige's read this and are pretty damn sure they're gonna fail the course, Paige also screams that she wanted to be TA but Evil!Paige just laughs, "shame he hates us then is't it?"

They both agree on going to see Mr Phale tomorrow to get the book, Paige also has another plan but she manages not to it form

Elizabeth grins, as she's already picked up a copy from the library.

[OOC: You do realize that the copy she'd get from Mr. Phale would most likely be an untranslated version, right? :D]

((he might have the first edition of the translation though, anyway she's hoping he can help her))
