BC3179 TEXTS
Fall 2009

The following texts have been ordered at the Columbia University Bookstore: 

• Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation 1620-1647 (Modern Library College Edition)
• Baym, ed. The Norton Anthology of American Literature, 7th edition, Vol. A
  • The 6th edition of the NAAL does not include Foster's The Coquette. The novel is available both online and in a paperback edition from Oxford University Press.
  • Students who are planning to take ENG BC3180 in the spring may want to purchase the NAAL bundle of vol. A & vol. B. If you're buying new texts, this may save you a few dollars.
    
• McGiffert, ed., God’s Plot: Puritan Spirituality in Thomas Shepard’s Cambridge (University of Massachusetts Press) (Note that the assignment in this text is quite brief; frugal students may wish to do this reading on reserve.)
• Wigglesworth, The Day of Doom (American Eagle) This text is out of print. The bookstore has stocked a few used copies, but most of us will have to work with the text online. 
• Woolman, The Journal of John Woolman (Friends United)
• Brown, Wieland and Memoirs of Carwin (Penguin)

In addition, I have ordered several copies of  the following text as a supplement to the excerpts from Equiano’s Narrative printed in the Norton Anthology. Students who choose to write on Equiano may wish to purchase this text:

• Equiano, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano (Penguin)

These texts have also been placed on reserve at the Barnard library. Some of these texts are also available in HTML format on the web; information on relevant sites will be added to the on-line syllabus as the semester progresses. Additional required readings are available on the web, and can be accessed via the schedule of readings. Please inform me immediately if you have difficulty obtaining any course texts.

Note that W.W. Norton has developed a website to accompany the Norton Anthology of American Literature.
