Electronic Resources for English 100:
Introduction to English Studies
This collection of electronic text files and internet links is designed as a supplement to required course texts and reserve readings in English 100 (Introduction to English Studies) at Illinois State University. My aim is to give students access to information on a wide variety of critical and historical issues and perspectives, and to introduce students to some useful tools for English studies.
