English Literature: 1660-1850
Here are the specific books I'm ordering for the survey course I'll be teaching next term.
Stanley Appelbaum, English Romantic Poetry: An Anthology
Jane Austen, Persuasion
Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights
Daniel Defoe, Moll Flanders
Alexander Pope, Essay on Man and Other Poems
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels
Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto
Also, I've a rather full Reader of plays, stories, excerpts from novels, poems, and essays: Restoration drama and poetry; Richardson's Pamela (in part); the Graveyard/Elegy school; "A Modest Proposal"; among others. In addition, I tend to supplement the assigned material with impromptu handouts on an almost weekly basis.
Dover Thrift editions too.
