Shakespeare’s Histories Research Paper
January 28, 2010 — RedfokkerMy “fun” class this Winter term is ENG 202 “Middle Shakespeare”.

January 12, 2010 — RedfokkerI was noticing today that again, the wheat has been separated from the chaff after the first week of Winter term.

[...]

Stop and Smell the Tudor Rose…
October 17, 2009 — RedfokkerHistory, history, history. It seems that I have tended to point all of my latest assigned papers toward my love of all things historical.
