Bibliography Texts:
Shorter texts will be made available on Moodle.
The one long text that we will read is a beautiful, but little-known novel by Mary Shelley called Valperga. Unfortunately, there is no recent paperback edition available by any of the major publishing houses. Students can read the novel on Project Gutenberg or check the internet for print on demand books (and of course check out library holdings).
Other works that students can get started on during the semester break are T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land and The Four Quartets, Christina Rossetti’s “Monna Innominata” sonnet sequence and Seamus Heaney’s Field Work (which, dating from 1979, we will treat as a late modernist piece of writing).
Recommended translations of Dante’s works are:
Dante Alighieri. The Divine Comedy. Transl. Allan Mandelbaum. Everyman’s Library 1995. ISBN-13 : 978-0679433132
Dante Alighieri. La Vita Nuova. Transl. Barbara Reynolds. London: Penguin, 2004. ISBN-13 : 978-0140449471
