There will be no class today because the professor is in Ireland attending a professional conference on The Perils of Print Culture.
Go to The Box of Delights bookstore at 328 Main Street, Wolfville, and buy a copy of Utopia by Sir Thomas More. Finish reading it before class on Thursday, September 16. On Tuesday, September 14 the professor will deliver an introductory lecture on the major themes and genres of sixteenth-century English history and literature, and on the expectations for this course.
