Reference List
(This is a reference list. There is no expectation that students will consult all of these sources in such a short course; but a long list will provide choices especially in light of the size of the course and the small number of copies of each book in the library. Use the list for details of titles indicated in the lecture and tutorial schedules, for sources additional to those in the prescribed edited collections and for sources for essay questions. Your tutor will offer guidance)
