Okay.
So as I said before I need to have three reading lists for three exams to be written sometime around December/January.
My theory advisor was impressed by my current list, so I think that one is set!
My Middle English advisor and my Old English advisor are both happy with my list for them, so I'd say that one is set too.
My two Renaissance people think that maybe one more round of refining and I'll be done there too.
So yippee! Probably by the end of the week I'll have this all locked.
I spent Monday gathering books from the library and filling my Kindle. For the interest of absolutely nobody, is my reading list for the next five months:
