Kommentarer til pensumlisten
- Pensumtekstene er samlet i 5 forskjellige antologier + et kompendium som finnes i Akademika.
- Kompendiet er lovet ferdig til semesterstart; her vil man finne det novelle-teoretiske stoffet, samt en del noveller.
- Et antall noveller finnes i Nina Baym, ed., The Norton Anthology of American Literature (Shorter Sixth Edition, evt. tidligere utg. av denne antologien), som mange av studentene vil ha benyttet i andre kurs ved IBA.
- Dessuten baserer kurset seg p? at studentene kj?per R. V. Cassill and Richard Bausch, eds., The Norton Anthology of Short Fiction (Shorter Sixth Edition), som skal v?re p? plass i Akademika til semesterstart.
- Tre andre antologier som er bestilt, har Akademika pr. 16.12.03 problemer med ? skaffe. Dersom disse ikke foreligger ved semsterstart, vil det bli laget et kompendium nr. 2; beskjed om n?r dette foreligger vil bli gitt ved kursets begynnelse/bli lagt ut p? kursets web-side s? snart informasjonen foreligger.
