Theory and Criticism Course Resources
Dr. Ramirez
 

Below you will find a list of web sites relevant to the theorists we have been studying.  Rather than considering these sites as ends unto themselves, you should use them as a point of departure for your own inquiries.  The web presents breath, but not necessarily depth.  To evaluate a theorist, you must formulate your own notes and ask your own questions.  That said, hopefully these sites will offer a point of departure for YOUR studies.

I recommend, in addition, that you use online library resources as well (such as the Literature Resource Center--available on campus)
If you find more sites relevant to the authors, please email me at ramirez@csusb.edu
