Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear Jeremy,
thank you so much!
I feel very grateful and slightly guilty to have provoked such a detailed response. I had a look at some of the lists you suggest, and, of course, I have my own favorites (some of which you mention), but I was curious to see what people here in the MLA forum would say…
P.S. Among the books I haven’t read yet,…[Read more]

Patrick Crapanzano replied to the topic literary scholarship for non-academic pleasure in the forum
Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear Alexandra,
I like the idea of your post. One book that comes to mind is A Brave Vessel, by Hobson Woodward. It doesn’t have the pop-currency potential as Will of the World, but it’s approachable for normal people interested in The Tempest and the Sea Venture’s wreck on Bermuda.
