How to Write an English Paper, and Well

Need help with your English paper? Turn to Jack Lynch.

Lynch is a professor at Rutgers University in Newark, and his specialty is eighteenth century literature–the era of Lord Byron, John Dryden, Samuel Johnson, and William Blake. However, after a battery of graduate work, a dissertation, and years of teaching college, he also knows how to help students spiff up their writing.

On his university webpages, Lynch has compiled a concise how-to guide on English papers. He says,

My audience is primarily undergraduates in college English classes, though of course some advice will be appropriate for high schoolers and graduate students. The idea is to collect all my advice on writing good English papers in one place.

The guide, entitled “Getting an A on an English Paper,” includes sections on Thesis, Research, Close Reading, Style, and Mechanics. Of course, Lynch can’t guarantee your grade, but he can offer insight into academic sentence-smithmanship.
