British Literature Literary Analysis Assignment

Thus far, we’ve looked at pieces of literature through the lens of Power and Nature. In this essay, you will develop a 1200-1500 word literary analysis where you analyze the presence of one of those themes in works we’ve discussed. You will use primary sources (our class text) and at least two secondary sources from JSTOR. Remember, a literary analysis makes an argument; it’s not just a report or summary.

See your choices below. You may use work you’ve already posted to the forum, but you may not, of course, use other students’ work from the forum.
