*nods* The earliest bits of my formal coursework are post-RB, too, obviously, though I spent some time "there" via Latin classes.
ETA Also, the fact that the Modern Languages Association (big US umbrella org for lit/lang academics, more or less) thinks OE and ME should be collapsed together is ridonkulous. Just saying. Sixth through fifteenth is what I was responsible for during quals, plus a roll-your-own thematic reading list; most of the not-English stuff came from undergrad coursework (my alma mater had no grad-level Celtic Studies classes) and random classes I felt like auditing. The funny thing about it, and the reason I've bothered listing it out, is that I'm left with the impressionistic residue in some respects: there are some sharp features and whole chunks in memory, and then there are smears built upon certain assumptions. The latter is where I meet trouble in some fiction that starts from different assumptions, I guess?
