The Reading Material Listed in the Classroom Description page
As these are stories written in the 1800s - A time in which death and corruption were a serious influence on the lives of the writers - There will be heated topics such as murder, death, addiction, etc. We will very briefly cover these topics but in a respectful light and with caution. Many of these writers had ties to (what we call today) the LGBTQA+ community. For quite a few of them, this is what defined who they were. Such facts will not be omitted from their history lessons.
The book list is provided in the classroom description.
