† AT FIRST GLANCE ¢
Ghosts and the difficulties attendant on finding
one's place are the red line threading its way
through this year's set texts. They are varied
but provide rich food for thought on many
levels.

ENS Cachan
There is no set syllabus. All English-language
literature is fair game. In order to prepare, read
as extensively as you can. There are several good
anthologies of English & American literature
available on the market. Do not worry: universal
knowledge is impossible in this crowded field!
Bibliography
In addition to the set texts above, you are
expected to purchase either M. H. Abrams, A
Glossary of Literary Terms, Boston, Wadsworth,
2005 or F. Grellet, A Handbook of Literary Terms,
Paris, Hachette, 1996 or 2009.
Further Reading:
Frankenstein : the Norton edition comes with a
very rich secondary literature selection which
should be amply sufficient.
Hamlet: We are working from the long text(Q2).
At this stage I want you to read the introduction
& text in the following order : 1. pp. 43-53; 2. pp.
59-74. 3. Read the play 4. pp. 36-43; 5. pp. 17-36;
