Papers handled by me this semester for II BA & III BA English Litt;

Dear Students of II BA English Lit & III BA English Lit.,
The following is the syllabus that I will be handling this semester for your classes. It is albeit imperative that you get a copy of the Texts as early as possible. If possible, you can also read these texts at home for yourselves before class starts, to facilitate better interaction.
Regards and all best wishes,
Rufus
