I was edumacated in Canada, and I didn't opt to take any American-specific courses. The only exception was a course entirely on Henry James. What's interesting is that Wings of the Dove is on this list, but it's one of the few of his I haven't read.

Most of my degree focused on Canadian and British literature, and a good proportion of that was poetry.

My problem? There's a good number of authors on this list I've never even heard of.
