Bem-vindo / Welcome

Introduction
I'm using this page to deliver primary and secondary texts for English Poetry 2 at UFRN in the 1st Semester of 2019 and years following. The list is chronological relative to the classroom period devoted to each period and writer. As far as possible the files are presented in PDF (Adobe) but some are also available in Word format (.docx) and some JPEGs are included also. The PDF documents will be displeased in this frame when you click the link but can also be new downloaded. The Word documents can only be downloaded. In many cases the classroom Word files have been converted to PDF for display here. Some Powerpoint files are also available. Please let me know if you have any trouble new downloading or viewing by writing to my email bstewart@ricorso.net.
 
Notice: This webpage will be updated to provide all course resources on a “when-can” basis (when I can). Right now, things are in a jam. Students are therefore asked to find their texts in the SIGAA course administration pages. [BS 28.04.2023]
