Besides, translations are worth discussing in their own right. It broadens the conversation, it doesn't narrow it. And the question was what books we studied at school - not what books we studied in English Literature class. (In Australia, English and English Literature are two separate subjects in upper school.)

Perhaps it works differently in Australia. In Britain - at least in my schooldays in the 1970s - English Literature classes were the only ones in which we studied books. We too had "English Language" and "English Literature" lessons, but we didn't read books in English Language.
