- It was! I looked it up and the summary matches what I remember.
I found the list, it may be missing some poems but this is largely what we covered:
A Canticle for Leibowitz - Walter M. Miller Jr
Arcadia - Tom Stoppard
Dulce et Decorum est - Wilfred Owen
Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
Kindred - Octavia E. Butler
Life of Galileo - Bertolt Brecht
Pygmalion - George Bernard Shaw
Suicide in the Trenches - Siegfried Sassoon
The Beekeeper's Apprentice - Laurie R. King
The Lady's Not for Burning - Christopher Fry
The Mortal Immortal - Mary Shelley
- And yet there are places in America whose regional accents are closer to English was at the time those places were settled than Britain is now.
Even more ironic is that My Fair Lady is an American film based on a play by an Irish Brit (George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion).
