The big-time perk of this job: I just got a box of books from Penguin, my free exam copies for this term:
The Portable Dante
The Italian Renaissance Reader
The Viking Portable Renaissance Reader
The Reformation: A History
Hopefully, I'll get to use these books to propose a course on the Italian and Continental Renaissance. In the meantime, I'll like having them as reading material and resources as I continue to fill gaps in my education.

Gentle Sir Philip Sidney, thou knew'st what belong'd to a scholler; thou knew'st what pains, what toil, what travail conduct to perfection.
About Me
- Piers
- West Tennessee, United States
- "I am grown at length to see into the vanity of the world more than ever I did, and now I condemn myself for nothing so much as playing the dolt in print . . . . There is nothing that if a man list he may not wrest or pervert. I cannot forbid any to think villainously, Sed caveat emptor, let the interpreter beware; for none ever heard me make allegories of an idle text."
