Due to family reasons, I have to cancel my classes on Thursday, Feb 20, and Friday, Feb 21.

As to my class on American literature II, please read Bret Harte – The Outcasts of Poker Flat and William Dean Howells – Editha. As to didactics, be prepared for a discussion on choosing literary works: criteria and aims. (See the syllabi online)

We might consider an extra class towards the end of the semester.
