All,
The guidelines for the Cold Mountain essay are essentially the same as they were for Ride With the Devil except in that you are clearly going to be pairing this film extensively with Escott's After Secession, and to a much lesser degree (because it did not focus on desertion) For Cause and Comrades. I think the book and the film offer many avenues for comparison so please think about those opportunities fully. Certainly life on the home front looms large as does the entire "collapse of the Confederacy" theme. Speaking of which, I'll be lecturing on the Confederacy's collapse on Tuesday.
The due date for this essay is Thursday, and I expect that you will bring a PRINTED double-spaced copy of your essay to class.
best,
JN
