Language and Literature schedules: a general guide


General and Notes on the Tables

--The "major" literatures (English/American, French, Italian, Spanish, Germanic, and Russian) are in     separate scheduled from their literatures.
--All the works of an author go in one number-- they are not separated by novels, drama, etc.
-- English translations of many (especially Greek and Latin) books are in the regular schedules (e.g.,        histories) and not in PA.
--P and PN are the only schedules with their own index.
-- Sometimes there is no instruction pointing you to a table, so we use logic/intuition.
