PhD exams

As I am soon to face my PhD comprehensive field exams, in Modern Lit. and 
Lit. Theory, I would appreciate input about what would be appropriate to 
include on my Theory list as per Foucault.  Would entire books or essays 
be better, or a mix of both?  Would a biography be good to include?  How 
much should one be expected to know about Foucault himself?  I hope these 
questions don't seem too juvenile, but my forays into Foucauldian theory 
are recent and not as deep as I'd like, and at Duquesne University, where 
the theory option is so new that one other person has exercised the 
option, I'd like a bit of extra guidance.  Please respond either 
privately (schulte@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or publically.  Thanks!  Jean Schulte
