Just had a skim over it, the only place where he gives a proper list is here:
>If you were compiling an anthology of English what better poets could you find than :
>Chaucer.
>Gavin Douglas 12 Bukes of Aeneidos.
>Golding's Metamorphoses translated from Ovid.
>Spenser (The Faerie Queene)
>Marlowe (Amores), passages of his plays.
>Shakespeare (Histories, and the lyrics as technical masterwork).
>Donne : The Ecstasy.

>> No.17392819

>>17392789
And for novels:
>If you want to study the novel, go, READ the best you can find. All that I know about it, I have learned by reading :
>Tom Jones, by Fielding.
>Tristram Shandy and The Sentimental Journey by Sterne (and I don't recommend anyone ELSE to try to do another Tristram Shandy).
>The novels of Jane Austen and Trollope.
>Novels of Henry James
He recs a bunch of french stuff too, I don't read french so can't comment. Also has some ideas about the decline of a nation being connected to the quality of its literature. Quite based but comes across like a madman.

>Spenser (The Faerie Queene)
