I don't have my old syllabi handy (out of town for Christmas), but I know at my undergrad and a lot of other schools the Norton anthologies of literature are a very popular course material. Don't bother buying the most current edition, just get copies that are one or two editions out of date.

>>8884643
If you're interested in a more creative writi ng stuff, I can post some of the stuff I've taught. I try to make it a little more literary than some profs do.

Maybe core psychology like Freud or Lacan or Jung. Didn't read a lot of them so I can't give you any good titles but another /lit/terates can probably give you good ideas :)

Surprised this has only come up once. It gets mentioned in literally every single fucking class I've had across uni. Not exaggerating. It's hack but it's useful.

I would also recommend checking out the Frankfurt School critics - Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin and Max Horkheimer. You don't literally have to read their works if you don't want to, there are plenty of great textbooks that breakdown, analyse and explain their contributions for you.

ugh excuse me? Don't even attempt to condescend me you imbecilic fool. Freud and Jung are masters of the field of psychology -- you must be a dumbstruck ass to even post this comment.
