texts and .pdfs

Please have each reading on hand on the day it is assigned. Please note that while computer screens are acceptable, accessing and reading texts on phones will not be adequate to the demands of the class; see “links” for my rationale in strongly recommending paper texts for longer pieces.

Here are the texts you will need to purchase or check out from a library:

• Austen, Jane. Pride and Prejudice. Longman, 2002. 978-0321105073
• Wilde, Oscar. The Importance of Being Earnest. Any edition is acceptable; here’s an online version
• Woolf, Virginia. Mrs. Dalloway. Harcourt, 1981. (1925) 978-0156628709
• Ishiguro, Kazuo. Remains of the Day. Vintage, 1990. 9780679731726

Electronic versions of the novels are not allowed!!!
