English Undergraduate Reading Lists Durham University

Hi! I am trying to fill the long year 13 summer with reading that will set me in a good place for starting university in September. I'm not putting on excess pressure to try and self-teach entire modules but I was looking for pointers to key books that are typically studied in the first year of undergrad English Lit courses. My firm choice Durham has a comprehensive list of modules and suggested reading with lots to go at but it doesn't explicitly say which modules or books are first year ones and it would be helpful to figure out which are the most relevant. If anyone has any suggestions of books that are likely to be studied pls lmk!
