I am wanting to do my thesis in Rhet/Comp, I have a paper to write for my 19th
C Brit Seminar, I have a paper to write for my Renaissance course...and 
probably a couple of papers to write in the 20th C Amer course and the
Shakespeare course I will be taking next quarter.  The construction of the self
by different writers at different periods would seem to be a theme that I could
research thoroughly, and thereby generate material for various papers.

To get to my point, I am hoping that you can point me in the direction of some
useful volumes on this subject.  A general work on this subject, or one
specific to 17th, 18th or 19th C England would be very helpful.

I think Dickens _David_Copperfield_ would make splendid material for talking
about the self, don't you?  I mean, the autobiographical nature of it and
all...

Grateful for your assistance, I am

Ever your friend,
Dennis
