I actually wanted to write my dissertation on Shelley, but my U. has NO romanticist.
So now my content area is transgressive, American postmodern literature, a difference of more than 150 years!

...so my University is British classics based. Would love to broaden out to more Anglo-American literature studies. 😀

I was there to play hockey, but I was on a student visa and graduated from high school in Collingwood. I really miss Southern Ontario!
