Homework Assignment for Module 9
**Reminder** “The Courtesan’s Tale” from Life Along the Silk Road, by Susan Whitfield, Director of the International Dunhuang Project, is a synthetic account, not a primary document. Whitfield, former director of the International Dunhuang Project has created Larishka’s tale from a composite of primary sources, this story is entirely plausible, and many of the specifics are documentable, but the narrative is created by Whitfield.
