describe the sections you now think will make up the Thesis. What these are will depend on the nature of the Thesis—for example, some Theses may require a substantial biographical discussion, others very little. In this section, you may discuss your interpretive ideas, but, again, don’t summarize plot or offer detailed readings. Instead, the outline should be a listing of topics you plan to cover, in what now seems to you a logical order. Placing these topics in the best order you can will help you think through your plan for writing and will enable the proposal’s reader to guide you. Expect to make changes in your outline as you work on the Thesis. This outline is just a first approximation.
