Bibliography

To get us started in compiling our bibliography, I'm posting Will's sources here. (Will, you're not locked into using these, of course.) As you leaf through different sources and start developing ideas / questions, please add your thoughts as comments to this post. Though the bibliography will be most useful for those of you who are writing research papers, it should still prove handy for everybody -- including those of you who are writing revenge tragedies / city comedies of your own. You might leaf through a source or two to help you think about how best to use / rework the generic conventions we've been discussing.
