please don’t go over the word count thank you!!! my chosen primary text- Utopia by Sir Thomas More 1516 This essay aims to help you to refine your use of secondary material (both literary criticism and history), by asking you to engage with it critically yourself. When you make use of a piece of literary criticism or history, you should be asking(1) what it is arguing;(2) how it makes that argument (what kind of evidence is used and how)(3) how successful that argument is. This enables you to see more clearly how you might situate your own interpretation of a text in relation to that of a critic and, often, to advance or modify their reading. Remember that in order successfully to assess a critics or historians rigour you need to be confident about what the larger contours of their argument are, and how they relate to the evidence. The evidence you know best is the primary source or sources you are using.Read carefully the chapter 1492: A New World View by Sylvia Wynter. Choose one of the primary texts we have studied this semester, and carefully re-read it. Go once again through 1492, annotating it carefully, taking notes on what its argument is, how it is made, and how it is supported (what evidence is used, and how? What is emphasized, and what is omitted?) Write a 1,500-word essay which briefly describes the chapters argument, assesses its critical strategies, and comes to a judgement about how convincing it is. In developing your judgement you should consider how Wynters chapter can help us understand your chosen primary text, and what the primary text tells us about the critical rigour of Wynters article.
