Instructions

You will submit a primary source analysis Eastern Standard Time this week. In this essay, you will be required to analyze ONE of the primary sources listed below and place it within its proper historical context. What I mean by this is that you will show how the text fits into the narrative we have been studying. How does the source lend depth to our understanding of the period? What ideas does it reflect? What do we learn about the culture that produced this text?

You will be expected to quote both the primary source and relevant portions of the Hunt text. Cite quotes from the primary and secondary sources according to the rules provided in the Chicago Manual of Style. Do NOT simply rely on indirect quotations; make certain to use direct quotations from both types of sources.

Here are the sources you can choose from:

• Selection from Friederick Engels' The Conditions of the Working Class in England (1844)
• Rudyard Kipling, "The White Man's Burden"
• "Theodor Herzl on the Jewish State" (1896)
• "Excerpts from the Treaty of Versailles"
• Wilfred Owen, "Dulce et Decorum Est"
