ENL 121 Introduction to Literature

Database Anthology
     Penn College subscribes to a number of electronic databases such as JSTOR and ProQuest. This "anthology" is an attempt to make some of the material in those databases (and elsewhere on the web) more easily available for use in English 121 classes. In essence, it is simply the results of searching these databases for texts that may be helpful in the classroom. Note that in order to get to most of the materials listed here, you will need a Penn College password.
