Small World (I wonder what David Lodge would say about academic bloggers?). <BR/><BR/>I thought you should know that I read Anglo-Saxon poetry for my History of Poetic Form class the other day (being that no one else knew old english)- it was such a hit, that I was asked for an encore performance! (and an impromptu reading of 14th C "Blacksmiths"). As I'm sure you know from personal experience, medievalists can be a bundle of fun at parties: just a few drinks and let the random recitation begin!<BR/><BR/>UVA is great, though medieval grad students are a rarity among the sea of Pre-moderns and Victorians(we often refer to ourselves as "the few, the proud"). Hope all things are well at Troy.
