This English and Literary Studies final year project examines how direct address invites readers into ethical disagreement. The proposed evidence base is a bounded collection of published Nigerian personal essays.

Why choose this project topic?

This topic turns essay studies into a focused reading task by investigating how direct address invites readers into ethical disagreement. A clearly bounded corpus gives you passages to compare and an argument to develop beyond a general plot summary.

Agree the corpus size, editions and critical framework for this study of how direct address invites readers into ethical disagreement with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the textual features relevant to how direct address invites readers into ethical disagreement.
  2. 02Build a documented evidence set from a bounded collection of published Nigerian personal essays.
  3. 03Code second-person forms, questions and imagined objections, then analyse how the implied reader changes.

A suggested research approach

Obtain lawful access to a bounded collection of published Nigerian personal essays. Code second-person forms, questions and imagined objections, then analyse how the implied reader changes. Establish selection criteria before detailed reading, record edition and page references, and test the developing interpretation against passages that complicate it.

What you will need

  • Lawful access to a bounded collection of published Nigerian personal essays
  • A reading matrix for how direct address invites readers into ethical disagreement
  • Relevant scholarly criticism and a consistent citation system

Keep your project scope clear

Textual invitations cannot demonstrate actual changes in readers' attitudes without separate research.
