Reading
 

Here are the bibliographical references for the reading for the course. Many of these contain useful additional information beyond that which we will have time to deal with in class and the tutorials.

The main chapters and extracts from these that are mentioned in the individual reading sections for each week are all available for copying in the University copy shop in folder number 21. The books marked in blue are extra reading for your first year of the BA programme.

Some of the texts are also available online as PDF-files; and some of those are password protected because they are copyrighted materials. You will be told how to access these in class.

This list here gives you the proper bibliographical information for when you need to cite references and quotations.
