I think you should cover these topics as well as the basics of the other important eras like Victorian poetry and drama, Post War Literature, Modernist literature and some movements like Colonialism/Post-colonialism, symbolism, Hellenism, Realism, Transcendentalism, etc. You might also be asked some Literary terms, so you should think about preparing some important Literary Terms too.
