About meAn English Instructor at Casper College, I teach composition, various literature courses, and creative writing. I am only a recent denizen of the West, having moved to Wyoming from Pennsylvania by way of Ohio and New York (courtesy of some graduate degrees). My other hobbies include spinning, knitting, baking, and bento.

Beowulf is my hlaford.

About my libraryMy books are heavily weighted in favor of copies of Beowulf and books about Beowulf, but you'll also find the treasured leavings of many a literature course and used-bookstore hoards.

Well, I added it because I bought it--haven't read it myself yet. But I bought it because I like what I've been hearing. Three of the reviews of it here on LT were written by people I "know"--that is, I'm familiar enough with their reading tastes to know what their endorsement means. They are lunacat, lindsacl, and Caroline_McILwee; you'll find their reviews on the book page for Wolf Hall. Other people whose judgment I also trust have given it raves too. I've always been intrigued by the whole Henry VIII saga, so it's inevitable that I must read this. It apparently treats Thomas Cromwell more sympathetically than he has been treated in the past. I'll be getting to it myself in the next couple weeks, I hope. I'll be sure to let you know what I think.
You have succumbed!!! I am so happy to see you here.
