lotf629 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I'm going to guess not. If you're out there, though, I'd love to hear from you...since there are like fifteen of us in the specialty.
magelette Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Anglo-Saxonist in terms of Arthurian, but leaning more toward any up-to-Malory Arthurian. I do prefer Old to Middle English, and love the utter despair of the poetry and the lack of comitatus. (God, I can't spell tonight.) Where you headed?
Juno Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 hey! I'm sort of a would-be Anglo-Saxonist ... I've just finished my undergrad and I'm taking a year or two out as an organist/choir director(!) while figuring out where to specialise. It'll be medieval or Renaissance but I can't decide which there are so many things to love about Old English poetry, and I have a hard time expressing exactly what that quality is that I love the most. I have some tough decisions ahead ...
lotf629 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 Hey! Good to hear some responses! I'm working on Old English lyric form, which is my favorite thing in the world at the moment. I love the mood of the poetry, too, especially the shorter poems.
