This page links to 16 book essays written by students in Professor Marcuse's 19th Century Germany lecture course at UC Santa Barbara in Fall 2006 (course homepage).

• For the assignment, see the book essay handout, and web publication guidelines.
• The students chose the books themselves, although I also supplied a some suggestions.
• In 2006, 18 of 33 students opted to meet the earlier deadline and do the additional editing and bibliographic work to have their papers published here.
• Finally, see my plagiarism warning, below.

Any student tempted to use one of these papers for an assignment in another course or school should be aware of the serious consequences for plagiarism. Here is what I write in my syllabi:

Plagiarism—presenting someone else's work as your own, or deliberately failing to credit or attribute the work of others on whom you draw (including materials found on the web)—is a serious academic offense, punishable by dismissal from the university. It hurts the one who commits it most of all, by cheating them out of an education. I report offenses to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.
