Recommended background
This is a course that requires no formal prerequisite, but certainly no other literary material is going to prove disadvantageous. World Literature and Western Literature to Dante are both useful in providing background material in the broadest sense, but neither is required.
Textbooks and Materials
This item is required:
England in Literature (Macbeth Edition) , Authors: Helen McDonnell, John Pfordresher, Gladys Veidemanis
ISBN: 067329384X
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
Other information:
If you cannot secure the Macbeth edition, the Hamlet edition is acceptable as well - merely make sure that you also have the optional Folger version of Macbeth listed below. That accounts for the only differences between the two volumes.
This book is now out of print, as Scott, Foresman has been assimilated by Prentice-Hall. Used copies are available.
This item is required:
Much Ado About Nothing (Folger Shakespeare Library) , Authors: William Shakespeare
ISBN: 0743482751
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
Other information: Please use this edition only. Unannotated editions of Shakespeare usually spell disaster for student comprehension, while using different texts (which often vary substantively) will merely create confusion in class.
This item is required:
Richard III (Folger Shakespeare Library) , Authors: William Shakespeare
ISBN: 0743482840
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
Other information: Please use this edition. Other editions are not acceptable for various reasons: chief among them the fact that unannotated texts tend to be impenetrable for the younger student.
This item is recommended but not required and its use is optional:
A Tale of Two Cities (Penguin Classics) , Authors: Charles Dickens
ISBN: 0141439602
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
Other information: This or Great Expectations is required for the class. You do not need to acquire both, though you may. Any unabridged version of the novel will suffice.
This item is recommended but not required and its use is optional:
England in Literature (Hamlet Edition) , Authors: Helen McDonnell, John Pfordresher, Gladys Veidemanis
ISBN: 0673293831
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
