Just taught my Senior AP class Mariner (and other Romantic Poetry) last week, doing Frankenstein this week. I really enjoy Brit. Lit. Romantic and Victorian eras. Then, of course, there’s Hamlet...
Agreed!
My Lit classes in College covered all of the greats. Although, we only read Shakespeare’s sonnets. So I haven’t read Hamlet.
At the time I was a bit annoyed with all of the reading. I was an engineering major and had my hands full with my technical classes. But then it grew on me and I really enjoyed my literature classes.
Philosphy, prose, poetry. Philosophy is where I was first exposed to The Communist Manifesto by Marx.
But I will never forget the Mariner.
