NB1.Most of the assigned books are to be read in toto. You may well prefer to read them straight through rather than in the jumbled way outlined above, which seeks to align the readings as completely as possible with the lectures.
2.Assignments for Blake are based on the paperback edition.
3. Assignments for Benton are by excerpt number, not page.
