J Dub's responses

I'm not going to copy our patrist's (another coinage) email, but I will summarize the suggestions.

1) Elizabeth Clark, Mary McClintock Fulkerson, and David Aers on literary or critical theory. As a recent reader of George Steiner's Real Presences, and a skeptic of most things french (though remaining a francophile), and I'm sure many of you have heard me talk about my Milton class with Aers, so of J Dub's suggestions, I am most sympathetic to this one. This is Clark's Book

2) Dean Jones and Brodhead (and some other perspective, possibly the former president or the unnamed woman who wrote that book) on charactor formation and higher education.

3) Paul DeHart et al on Postlibs.

One further comment. The balance between knowledge of topic and attendance level is a trecherous one, but I think having a geniune conversation between unlikely conversants is the summum bonum. And this is a very academically aware campus whom I feal, especially with Smitty's first two suggestions, could get a large response.

But these are only a few options, and we have plenty of time. Come on. Nuance and suggest a little in the comments.
