Help us select what the MR Literary Club will read in May 2016!
The category for this month is:
Time Period
This month is a two-part process:
The first part begins with a one-day poll to determine the time period we will use. It is multiple choice; you may choose as many options as you like when voting. This voting is separate from your nominations. There are no nominations during the poll, only voting. If there is a tie, first listed wins by default (i.e. the oldest).
As soon as the poll is over and the time period is determined, then the second part (nominations) begins as normal. This will run for four days until 6 May.
Nominations can be set in any time period and published in any time period, but they should be written during that time period.
Notes:
-Previously chosen time periods currently ineligible:
1981-2000
1801-1900
1901-1920
1961-1980
-The period of 2001-Present has been given its own category (Contemporary) and therefore isn't eligible anymore for the Time Period poll.
Once the poll is over and nominations begin:
In order for a work to be included in the poll it needs four nominations - the original nomination plus three supporting.
Each participant has four nominations to use. You can nominate a new work for consideration or you can support (second, third or fourth) a work that has already been nominated by another person.
To nominate a work just post a message with your nomination. If you are the first to nominate a work, it's always nice to provide an abstract to the work so others may consider their level of interest.
What is literature for the purposes of this club? A superior work of lasting merit that enriches the mind. Often it is important, challenging, critically acclaimed. It may be from ancient times to today; it may be from anywhere in the world; it may be obscure or famous, short or long; it may be a story, a novel, a play, a poem, an essay or another written form. If you are unsure if a work would be considered literature, just ask!
The floor is closed until a time period is chosen.
