Welcome to the English 252 Wiki!
Those students in David Richter's English 252 class who want extra credit will each research one or more areas of historical interest that have some bearing on our readings in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature.
You will then create a page on this wiki that digests the results of your research for your classmates. You don't have to use standard source citation, but give some indication of where your information is coming from. If it is another website, give the URL.
Relate the page, however tenuously, to ANY reading we are doing this semester for this course.
You are encouraged to collaborate with one another, helping each other with finding sources, editing pages, and finding appropriate images.
Whenever you are ready, you can claim one of these articles to begin editing by adding some content including your name.
By the end of the semester, we will have produced a wiki of brief, informative articles on a wide variety of historical issues that should be useful to any student of literature in this period.
To start this process, go to Historical Context, choose a vacant page to make your own, and click on it. What will come up is a form. Click on "...but you can create it" and up comes another form to name your page. Ignore the choices and click on "Create new file." Then upload your research by adding to the page. Pictures can be uploaded, and you can link your file to other students' as well. You can preview the file to see what it will look like, then save it. When you save it, it will ask for your password (which is in the syllabus on my website), your name, and your email address. After you insert these data in the form, the page will save to the wiki.
This wiki will also provide the class syllabus at http://qcengsurvey2richter.pbwiki.com/English%20252%20Syllabus and
