Foreign Perspectives

As part of my pre-course preparation for the English Literature course, I’ve just finished A Doll’s House which was a whole lot easier going than I had expected it to be.

Next up on the list is The Color Purple which I’ve just started today and, so far, is quite an easy read.

The strange thing about these “English” literature books is that most of them aren’t actually written by English (or even British) people which does seem a little odd for an english literature course I think. Still, I suppose it reflects the fact that english is an international language so I guess you’d expect there to be a number of non-english writers in amongst any collection of english literature.
