Om mig I teach 16th and 17th British literature, particularly drama. I read a lot of fiction--historical novels set in many places and time periods, contemporary British fiction, classics, and more. Fiction keeps me sane in the midst of reading stacks of freshman essays!

Deborah: After pursuing a Ph.D. in early 20th century American fiction several years ago (and deciding, when it came time to start the dissertation, that I didn't enjoy writing nearly as much as I should to be successful), I stopped reading a lot of the classics. I was burned out. I turned to a lot of contemporary fiction and some non-fiction. Now I'm trying to get back to reading some of the classics, with a goal to read at least 10 "canonical" novels this year. I've just started The Age of Innocence for the Group Reads group (which I read in college) and plan to re-read some Cather and Faulkner when I have the chance. Anyway, I'll be peeking through your library for ideas. :)

On Ophelia - I was going to guess Rossetti, so it seems I wasn't too far off!
Hi:

I just read your comment about teaching freshmen and looking for new works dealing with immigration. This may be a little too young for your audience, but perhaps not. I have also posted some other titles in that thread.

I have just come across a Young Adult title dealing with immigration from Bangladesh to the US. I have not read it yet, but it looks promising, with good blurbs from Booklist and Kirkus Reviews, and nominations for multiple awards in 2007. It is called Ask Me No Questions and is by Marina Budhos.
Hallo, don't wish to impose, but I notice that you're currently reading North and South. This morning's Guardian has an article by Jenny Uglow that might interest you...
All the best, Carolyn
Hi Deborah-
I'm an actress, and I'm passionate about Shakespeare and the Jacobean playwrights which explains my love of English history from that period. Your library is great! I just finished reading "Imposture", and I quite enjoyed it. Any recommendations?

Cheers,
Rachel

PS I assume that your member name is in reference to "The Duchess of Malfi" :)
We have some wonderful historical novels in common, and I enjoy Jude Morgan's books as well. (He's written many other historicals as T.R. Wilson, if you're not familiar with his earlier work.)
If you decide to take a look at my historical fiction guide, I hope you enjoy it!
