In November of your senior year, you will submit a proposal for your essay to the Department of Literatures in English. The purpose of your proposal is to define the project for your senior thesis, demonstrate the viability of your project, and locate yourself within the critical debate about your chosen literary texts.

The essay should be 30-40 pages long, not including notes, bibliography and other apparatus. In late April of your senior year, you will submit a bound copy and an electronic copy of the Senior Essay in its final form. The hard copy should be delivered to the English House Office and the electronic copy should be sent to Daniel Parker dparker1@brynmawr.edu

Once you turn your bound essay in, it is distributed to your thesis adviser and to a second reader for response and evaluation.
