Comment:
A disc brewed up for my British Literature professor as a way of thanking him for a fantastic semester. Each song corresponds to a story or concept we covered this year. See if you can guess what they might be... or something (note: all works covered were written between 1800 and 1991).
Feedback:
Oh my God, this is a great mix! You have my absolutely favorite They Might Be Giants tune, plus killer songs by Talking Heads, XTC, Shins, Ben Folds, etc. And I only wish I had thought of the title first because it is ingenious. Great job.
Well a couple sound like Charles Dickens, but I'm lost without the scorecard. Plenty of good songs here though.
Well done.
#16, Picture of Dorian Gray? Just a random idea, interesting mix.
Is that a Bosch painting? I know I've seen it before!
Yes. It's "Garden of Earthly Delight", which also happens to be the name of the first song on the mix.

3) Lord Byron/ The Byronic Hero
4) Freudian Theory/ Heart of Darkness
5) Oscar Wilde
6) Matthew Arnold - Dover Beach

As a former English major (who has become nearly illiterate since medical school), I think this is very cool--references to Keats (since I'm a physician, he is naturally my favorite), Byron, Wordsworth, Shelley, Browning, and Hopkins make me smile. A question--where's the Coleridge?
