Hello -- new to this forum -- and quite premature, too, as I am only entering UC Berkeley in January 2011 for my BA in English. I should graduate in 3 or 4 semesters I think. Anyway, I was just curious to see if anyone here was also interested in Medieval/Renaissance studies AND folklore studies. I'm interesting in getting a PhD in English with an emphasis in the former. But I am very interested in folklore as well. I have a strong sense -- more like a compulsion sometimes -- that "the keys to the answers I am looking for lie in _______ discipline!" (Insert paleography/historical linguistics/history of science/history of the Bible/etc./but mostly folklore.) Any advice would be greatly appreciated, from Medievalists or Folklorists or anybody. No matter how much Googling I do, I'm still going to feel terribly uninformed until I actually hear from real people.
