About Me
- Michael
- I am Professor of English and Director of the Center for the Study of the Medieval at Wheaton College, Norton, Mass., where I teach Old English (Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, medieval literature, fantasy, science fiction and writing. I am also a Millicent C. McIntosh Fellow. My scholarship is focused on tenth-century English literature and culture, meme-based theories of culture, and the works of J. R. R. Tolkien.

I think it's refreshing to find that the scholars of my discipline that I admire so much do, in fact, relax and revel in silliness once in a while. It's good for us striving beginners to see.
That is right dead brilliant.
That is deeply and profoundly awesome.
I'm going to use this in conjunction with my lecture on Edgar's church reform.
You may want to see this as well.
ftw!
