Introductory Reading List?

I am considering getting into aesthetics as it is one of my modules for next year (I'm studying BA Philosophy). I am looking for recommendations and suggestions for readings over the summer to prepare myself, whether that be introductory texts, study guides or individual texts of philosophers.

Many thanks,

Izzy / ihoardpoetry

The Oxford Handbook of Aesthetics.

Not quite introductory text book, but I find it good for wide range of aesthetic topics general reading.
