Melvil Mondays: 800-809

We're back to class here on The Hill, which means we're also back to Melvil Mondays. We resume in the 800-809s, "Literature (Belles-lettres) and rhetoric." It's more fun than you might think! 

Once again, the 00-09 section of the 800s is reserved for the "Standard subdivisions" and for "rhetoric; collections; history, description, critical appraisal of more than two literatures."

•  801 - Philosophy and theory (including "techniques and principles of criticism," as depicted here):
