Moncrieff, Tom and Jerry: or, Life in London in 1820 (1821) and H. M. (Henry
M.) Milner, Frankenstein: or The Man and the Monster (1823)
No set texts; but most tutors aim to cover the main canonical authors and then to go on to include a scattering of others. The shape of the course for each student depends largely on the student's preferences. It is possible in theory, for example, to concentrate on the later 18c novel and study none of the Romantic poets in depth, but this would not be possible in practice in most colleges.
