Here I am introducing myself as another fall 2013 medieval person! I won't call myself a medievalist because I'm only in undergrad and haven't specialised enough to have that title, but I swoon over Beowulf and Breton lais, so... I think it's safe to say I'm very interested in that period. I'll be applying for MA programs, and since I'm single I get to be very selfish about where I go, haha. I'll either be staying in Canada or going over to the UK - the States has never really been my cup of tea. Still toying with the idea of taking a year off between my undergrad and MA, but for now it's fall 2013. Very, very unsure of which schools I'll be applying to, so any discussion will be helpful for me!

My interests are also medieval so this is great! I'll be applying to start an MA in the fall of 2013 and really have no idea where to start... I'm Canadian, haven't taken the GRE and have no interest in going to the States, so I have been looking at universities in Canada and the UK (U. of York seems like a dream for medieval...). One thing I see come up a lot is faculty... I hope this doesn't seem ignorant but I truly do not know who to look for. Should I just read the descriptions of medieval professors to see if their interests align with mine? As well, would it be better to go for a school with a specific Medieval Literature MA or one with a general English MA? Thanks for helping out a n00b.
