Required Texts and Materials

The following items are available at the Creighton University Bookstore.  Please be sure to purchase the Norton Critical Edition of Walden.

Henry David Thoreau, Walden (Norton Critical Edition, 1992)

The Heath Anthology of American Literature, Fifth edition. Ed. Paul Lauter (Houghton Mifflin, 2006)

Joseph Gibaldi, MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Paper, 6th edition (MLA, 2003)

In addition you should have the following (useful for all your courses, not just this one!):
-         A good college-level dictionary
-         A good writing handbook (for reference information on grammar and style) such as Andrea Lunsford’s The Everyday Writer, Andrea Lunsford or Diana Hacker’s A Writer’s Reference
-         A dictionary of literary terms – (there are partial glossaries at the end of your course text books, as well as several useful online resources)
-        Access to a computer with internet capabilities, and a working and regularly checked CU email account – I will occasionally send emails to the class using the Blackboard/AMI email function. These go to your CU email and I will expect that you check that email account regularly.
