Our 'O' level set books for my year were Pride and Prejudice, and Romeo and Juliet (boo - I voted for Julius Caesar). I recall we did some poetry as well, but I don't remember what. Other Shakespeare I recall studying were Macbeth and The Merchant of Venice. I think we may have done A Tale of Two Cities as well, which probably explains my loathing of Dickens (but I still read Pride and Prejudice at least every couple of years). Outside of English, I did The Aeneid for Latin, and also read my way through the Greek Literature in Translation book list for pleasure, [hem, hem, Aristophanes - some of it was absolutely feelthy for a convent school] (being A stream I did Latin instead).
I recall my sister did Jane Eyre and The History of Mr Polly, but I don't remember what Shakespeare she did.
