I'm going to be applying to MA programs for next fall so I figured I better brush up on important texts.I'm leaning towards an American Literature concentration.
So , for those that are already doing graduate work in English I'd be curious to hear what texts you can recommend I start pouring over.I know this question is kind of vague since every program is different, but I figured I'd ask anyway.
So far I've been reading Harold Bloom's "The Western Canon." I've also been re-reading a lot of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Hawthorne, and Faulkner.
