Archer Library Award 2019 - Reflective Essay

Abstract

From September 2018 to November 2018, I made significant use of the University of Regina’s Library resources and services to help me complete research for a scholarly edition in Dr. Susan Johnston’s English 349: Methods in Literary History. I researched a Pre-Raphaelite painting titled Isabella and the Pot of Basil composed in 1866-7 by William Holman Hunt. My goal for choosing Hunt’s painting was to represent a possible trajectory, or timeline, of adaptation.
