The Modernist Journals Project
for students and scholars of modernism
This is a place for teachers who have used this archive to share their experiences. We welcome three kinds of materials for inclusion in these pages: Course syllabi, reading and writing assignments, and samples of student work (with their permission, of course). We will list on this page the teachers who have contributed, with a few sentences of professional information about each. These will appear in the order in which we receive them. Each teacher's name will be linked to a page or pages with the material he or she submitted.
