Textbook & Reference

Textbooks:



All six novels covered in this course are available either in the NCCU library or in major bookstores. Please secure a copy of them either through borrowing from a library or purchasing on-line / in a bookstore. Any edition will do, although a scholarly edition (e.g. Oxford, Norton, Penguin, Broadview … etc.) may be ideal. This is because the explanatory notes and critical introduction in such editions can help students to understand this novel better.



Copies of assigned critical essays can be obtained in the University photocopying centre.
