Purging old files, I found feedback on my dissertation proposal.

Marginal note on page 1: "This is awful writing."

I am delighted to share my article "Trans Saints in Old English."

If you are interested in this topic, please consider joining the conversation by submitting a proposal to the Kalamazoo session organized by Caz Batten and myself.
