Webster Mercury

The English Department has published a volume of exceptional work written for our courses since 1975, first as The Right Reader, and then since 1983 as The Webster Mercury. Two types of writing are included: essays representing high achievement in coursework as selected by faculty members, and senior projects written by graduating students who have earned departmental honors. The senior projects are written on a topic related to that student's area of concentration (Literature, Society, and Politics; Creative Writing; or Drama).
