ENGL 314: Readings

Readings may be accessed by clicking on the hyperlinks. You may download and print the readings without charge at any of the campus computers that have printers, but choose the most powerful computer because the files for the readings are rather large. If you use up your paper allotment, you can simply bring more paper to the computing center or library.
