Core Novels and other Texts

The three novels that you must read in full are Richardson, Pamela; Eliot, Middlemarch; and Mistry, Fine Balance. They will be referred to and used throughout the course. If you buy any of the other core texts, look for the most recent paperback editions indicated below, or use an on-line version.

 

Other novels and fictions used are:

 

Some notes on locating reading: 

du Bois The 1974 English translation of du Bois’s text is available in the Library. Find and read any early eighteenth-century translation on-line by searching with `Abelard’ rather than `du Bois’ (ECCO)

Cervantes y Saavedra: Don Quixote was first published in English in 1615. There are four seventeenth-century editions available in EEBO, the earliest being The History of Don‑Quichote. The first parte, Edward Blounte, London, 1620? (EEBO) Trace its extraordinary spread through the eighteenth-century in ECCO. For the lecture and in seminars I shall be using Don Quixote. A New Translation by Edith Grossman, Introduction by Harold Bloom, Secker and Warburg, London, 2004.

Freud The `Dora’ case can be found in `Fragment of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria’ (1905), The Pelican Freud Library Vol. 8, Case Histories I, Penguin, Harmondsworth, 1977, pp. 27-164; or in The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, Vol. 7, Hogarth Press and the Institute of Psycho‑analysis, 1953,

Godwin You can access an early edition of his novel on line: Things as They Are: or, the Adventures of Caleb Williams. By William Godwin. In two volumes (ECCO). Or use the modern Penguin edition.

Laclos The first English translation of Liaisons Dangereuses is available on-line: Dangerous Connections: or, Letters Collected in a Society, and Published for the Instruction of other Societies. By M. C**** de L***, 4 vols, London, 1784 (ECCO) The Penguin paperback is the best modern edition (in just one volume!).

Richardson The fourth edition (unfortunately not the first) of Pamela is available in ECCO: Samuel Richardson, Pamela: or, Virtue Rewarded. In a Series of Familiar Letters from a Beautiful Young Damsel to her Parents. In two volumes, C. Rivington; and J. Osborn, London 1741. (ECCO) Most modern paperback editions use the (much corrected) 1801 version. The Penguin edition with an Introduction by Margaret Ann Doody is the most useful.

Wollstonecraft You can read Wollstonecraft’s novel on-line: Mary Wollstonecraft, Posthumous Works of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. In four volumes, J. Johnson and others, London, 1798, Vols 1 and 2 (ECCO) The American edition of 1799 is also available: Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman. A Posthumous Fragment. By Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman., James Carey, Philadelphia, 1799(ECCO) You could also use either the Oxford World Classics Paperback edn, or The Works of Mary Wollstonecraft, (ed.) Janet Todd and Marilyn Butler, Pickering, London, 1989, Vol. 1.

For all other core texts you must rely on modern paper back editions. It is of course, awkward to read a novel on a computer screen, and you will probably want to use modern editions for any extended reading you do. But part of the point of finding seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts on-line, is that you can see what the original book looked like, place it in the context of the author’s other writings, assess its popularity (by the number of editions that it went through), and begin to trace its evolution into other forms (chapbooks, compilations, stage plays, satires, burlesques, etc.)

 

  Bibliography of Secondary Reading (for seminar preparation and discussion; discussed in lectures; also a starting point for compiling your own bibliographies for essay writing).

(Technically, a Bibliography should comprise an alphabetical list of every work cited in a document (a course outline, an essay, a book), in a full reference. If I've missed anything from the listings under Seminars, please let me kmow. A Bibliography may also include works that are relevant, but not actually cited in the main document. I have included some texts like that here.
