Reminder: Paper Prospectus due in class on 3/18

HISTORICAL METHODS PAPER: All students will be required to write a 12-15 pg. paper (approx. 3000 to 3750 words) that analyzes the approach of two different historians to a single historical subject. One of the books used for this paper should be a primary source from the course syllabus, while the other two books should be works of historical analysis that relate directly to the issues raised by that primary source. As these secondary sources are yours to choose, they may or may not come from the list of course readings. A 1-2 pg Prospectus (including a completed bibliography of sources) for this paper will be due in class on 3/18 and the paper itself will be due on 4/17.


Remember, your primary source options are:

Donnelly, Ignatius. Caesar's Column

Gernsback, Hugo. Ralph 124C41+

Huxley, Aldous. Ape and Essence

Gibson, William. Neuromancer
