Literature/Expert Profile
Expertise
I am willing to assist anyone in the interpretation of the literature of any genre, but my expertise is in American literature. My masters thesis is an analysis of the heroic novels of William Faulkner. I am also adept in English literature, particularly Shakespeare and the romantic poets. I will not edit or revise lengthy papers. Nor will I do homework.
Experience in the area
I taught advanced placement English in a preparatory school and am now a reference librarian at a medium-sized public college. I have been a volunteer at the grammar and writing, poetry, etymology and politics sections of allexperts for more than four years.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
Due to the rash and hurtful actions of one "Michael O'Brien" and the refusal to acknowledge the receipt of several answers I sent to someone named "Bren," I will answer no more questions unless the questioner is willing to allow me to question his/her sincerity and will promise to acknowledge the receipt of my answer. If you are unwilling to be courteous, then please contact another expert.
