Lindholm's "Wizard of the Pigeons"

Megan Lindholm's 1984 novel Wizard of the Pigeons is a novel that combines street grit and magical realism, urban fantasy and PTSD, with all the respect, wonder, and empathy in the world.

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

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.
