Dear Raju, I am sorry, but I do not plan to post any handouts on Bacon and Addison and Steele. The lecture notes that I have on those writers are out-of-date and, given that I am now a retired professor, I do not have the time to update those notes. Sorry.
Best wishes,
Dr. Tarvin

Your website provides very useful information. It will be useful for me if you could supply analysis of Bacon’s Essays, Addison and Steele essays (particularly prose works of English literature) etc. Thank you very much, indeed.

Dear Dr Tarvin
Thanks alot for providing the missing keywords of some of the handouts, I really appreciate your dedicated selfless effort in an increasingly self oriented materialistic world.
I was happy to know that you visited our part of the world and lived there for Fifteen years,I sure hope you will visit Jordan one day because as you mentioned it is a beautiful country loaded with historry and different visions and outlooks towards life but still capable of living in harmony by holding deep respect for orher ideologies and perspectives of life.
I truely hope you can visit us one day and we will be more than happy to show you different parts of this magnificent country. thanks again for your efforts.

Dear Bouthainah,
I am sorry for the delay, but I have finally provided Answer Keys to the Emerson and the American Renaissance handouts. However, the Answer Key versions are only in the Word Format of each document, not in the PDF format. So when you go to the Emerson and Amer. Renaissance files, be sure to click the option Word Format, which will take you out of the PDF format or directly to the Word Format versions.
When my computer adviser comes in two weeks, I will have him put the Answer Key in the PDF format so that it will be in both formats.
Your country code indicates that you are from Jordan. I taught in the Middle East for fifteen years or so, but I never got to visit Jordan, which I understand from some Jordanian friends I met in other Middle East countries is a beautiful country.
If you need any other assistance, do not hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes,
Dr. Tarvin

Dear Sarah,
Please try the British Literature section on Eliot. That site is working. My computer specialist is in the process of transferring a duplicate of the information on Eliot to the American Lit. site since Eliot is studied in both American and British Literature.

Until the American Lit site on Eliot is up and running, please use the Eliot handout on the British Lit. site.

Within the next week or so, I hope to have an answer key for both Eliot sites.

Thank you for telling me about any sites that are not working; your information will receive my immediate attention.

Best wishes,
Dr. Tarvin

Hello,
I’d like to let you know that some of the links have problems including T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and ” The Waste Land”. I need your handout on Eliot….Thanks.

Dear Nate, I have added an answer key at the end of the Roethke handout in the Word version. It includes an answer key to his poem “I Knew a Woman.” The answer key in the PDF version should be added tomorrow.
I am pleased that you are using my literary handouts. If you have any other questions or comments, please contact me.

Best wishes,
Dr. Tarvin
