       Welcome to our resource site. This site is designed to help students in English 270
  at Hope College. This site should provide useful links, insight into readings, study help
  for exams, and ideas to help with question papers. Basically, if you're taking this class
  this site was made to help. Enjoy your visit to the site and e-mail us with any feedback
  you have. 

       Throughout the semester we discussed the dynamic between earnest and game.
  Thinking about how serious or playful a work is can help in understanding both
  important issues authors try to get across and subtle humor. Particularly interesting are
  the authors who put the earnest/game dynamic in their works on purpose. Chaucer
  and Shakespeare are good, familar examples of authors skilled at just that.

  Here's our quick list of the literary terms you might want to look at during the semester.

  Just for our prof.-our page about who did what.
