It's the major gift from this Christmas: a newly annotated & modernized edition of the Martin Marprelate Tracts! I realize that most of my readers will be like, "whaaaa?" --but I'm thrilled to get ahold of this volume. I'm probably one of like 50 people who bought their own personal copy.
Now, the trick is to justify the considerable expense by producing some actual scholarship. What that will take, I'm not yet sure--last year was so extraordinarily poor in that respect, I am tempted to burn all of the work I did and just start over from the beginning.
Huh. May not be a bad course of action in general. Aaaaanyway, I certainly need to be more focused this term than last. First item: read said book cover to cover.
