Below, please find a list of texts around which the short course revolves. Since there are only a few of them, please, read them carefully and be able to refer to them in class discussion. Naturally, some of the books below collect more texts than we will need in class and, just as naturally, the editions below should be treated as suggestions rather than as a requirement. Note: for those of you who might experience problems finding access to texts, I am enlosing links to digitized versions of indiviual works.
