It was published in 1820. I used to teach it in the US. :)


It was relevant for her, let's put it this way. Also, in all of her years of teaching at the university level (in New York City, btw), she's taught literature ranging from 1700 to contemporary times.  Later, when I have more time, I'll summarise her objections.  She's a bit of a 19th century expert full stop, both in American and British literature.


However, as I stated, she liked the show. 

I'm excited that Homeland is starting up again on Sunday night over here. :)  We'll be home from Wales in time to see it. We'll need to remember to record Atlantis, though.
