For your 6-8 page research paper, you will need to pick one author. From there, you will analyze at least three pieces of the author’s work (short stories, poems, plays, or any combination thereof) and decide which school of criticism you think would be the best way to evaluate the author’s work (gender, formalism, historical, biographical, etc.). Your paper will evaluate the author’s work within the school of criticism you’ve chosen, and you will find pieces of peer-reviewed literary criticism to support your reasoning for choosing the school of criticism you did.
You need:
– At least three primary sources (works written by the author you’ve chosen); at least one of these primary sources should be in the textbook.
– At least three secondary sources (these can be essays evaluating the individual works you’ve picked or essays evaluating the author overall, all in relation to the school of criticism you’ve chosen).
Your paper should cover not only the analysis of the works you’ve chosen to evaluate, but should also give a clear reasoning WHY you believe the school of criticism you’ve chosen is the best one for evaluating the author you’ve picked. This means that you should also do some research on the school of criticism you are using (this, of course, would also be included on your Works Cited).
Remember, this is a research paper, so you should avoid using personal pronouns.
Remember that this is an academic research paper, so you should not be using Wikipedia as a resource. You need to focus on academic sources. Will be turned into TURNITIN.COM
