We will be focusing on four main texts (by More, Hawthorne, Gilman, Huxley) but we will also read shorter pieces and texts as well as scholarly essays You will become acquainted with searching various databases on the Sprague Library website (MLA, Ebsco, Project Muse, JSTOR) to get additional research (recent scholarly essays).
