Are you hardcore enough to handle W.H. Auden’s reading list for 1941 University of Michigan undergrads?
Over 6,000 pages of material. One semester.
Including the complete texts of:
- Brothers Karamazov
- Moby Dick
- The Divine Comedy (Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso)
- Faust
Once you get through those, you can enjoy the 8 books of recommended critical commentaries.
How many students today do you think could get through this?
