There will be a dossier of photocopied texts available in the photocopying room at the beginning of the semester. The dossier will contain some poetry, theoretical texts and bibliography. In addition, I shall be posting relevant articles and websites on Moodle and showing you illustrations and paintings on power-point. It is essential that you give me your e-mail address at the beginning of the course, and notify me if there is any change of address. The Library stocks a wide variety of books and DVDs on Shakespeare. There are numerous specialised websites on Shakespearean studies. Too many to list here!
