This summer, I'm taking stock of grad school options.
I just finished my undergrad sophomore year as a literature major at Patrick Henry College and I'm hoping to follow up on it by doing graduate work in literature written around and during World War I (with an eye to perhaps doing something in Russian later, after I learn the language). I hope, upon completing my grad work, to teach literature at a college or university.
So, I know what I want to study, but the problem is figuring out where to apply. Would those of you with graduate degrees in English be willing to tell me about your experiences in grad school - where you went, what you did, what you liked about it?
I dream of going to Oxford, or somewhere overseas. An Mst in literature and art, and then a DPhil in English 1900-Present :D. Of course there are good American universities too.
I'd appreciate any insights you'd care to share with me!
