The Country of the Pointed Firs

This electronic edition was created by students in Storyforms, Pedagogy and Digital Composition, a graduate course offered by the Department of English at The University of North Carolina. This project is sponsored by the Studio for Instructional Technology and English Studies at UNC.

Highlights of this version include accompanying interpretive and instructional materials and a "modifiable" text that allows readers to annotate passages and create discussion forums.

In exchange for presenting the text as an open surface, we ask that readers approach adding links or commentary to the text seriously. We welcome all contributions but will maintain the text to be reliable, recognizable and usable by a broad base of students and readers of literature. If you are interested in the functionality of the text or would like to practice before particpating, please feel free to experiment at the demonstration page.
