Term paper, stage two: Preliminary bibliography (posted 4 October 2004)

For this second stage of the term paper assignment, you need to do some preliminary research. On Monday, October 4, you will turn in to me a bibliography listing at least ten secondary sources that you intend to consult in the process of working on your term paper. These sources should include critical books and articles on (or related to) the topic you intend to pursue, and should be scholarly in nature (meaning you need to pay attention to the provenance of these sources, ensuring that they're well-researched and authoritative; stuff grabbed off the internet may not suffice). These sources should not include class readings, though of course you'll want to use class readings as sources in the term paper itself. Each entry in the bibliography should be followed by a one-sentence description of what the source is, and why you think it might be important to your research.
