This document began as a little outline with practical advice, resources, and areas in the discipline for graduate students interested in research in literature (also useful for other fields), prepared by Prof. Leonardo Flores for a RUMEGA activity. It is now a document shared with the English Department Literature Sector and it is being edited and updated LIVE. Feel free to link to this valuable resource and consult it, and share it as you see fit.
