NOTES ON FORMATIVE ASSIGNMENT
INTRODUCTION TO VICTORIAN LITERATURE
LETETIA ELIZABETH LANDON
NOTES ON PAPERS
• In general, simplify diction
• Review my earlier PowerPoint—some papers
severely lacking in citation
• Correct bibliographic formatting necessary—I will
grade down in future for this
• Calling something “typically Romantic” or “typically
Shelleyian,” or even referring to a sonnet as
generally about love: all lead to incorrect
generalizations
