Recs if you like The Light Princess...

A personal study in gothic lit, fantasy, mythology, and the writing of it.

All these books are taken from various courses I've taken as English Literature undergrad! Contains both well known classics and ones you probably have never heard of. (work in progress)

Books that are 200 pages or less. A compelling story doesn’t need to be long. Short stories included too.

Have you ever wanted a PhD in English Lit? Do you think fantasy is a legitimate field of literary criticism? Would you like a glimpse into the psyche of someone who does?

These are the books included (or excerpted from) on my comprehensive exams list for a dissertation on fantasy. It is not even a remotely comprehensive list of fantasy texts and criticism (yes, I see the irony).
