Long abstractMany scholars of medieval studies enter their first job after leav-ing supportive graduate programs where other graduate stu-dents understood their woes. Once teaching at an institution where scholarly studies may not be a priority, many quickly dis-cover that they do not have much time, especially for research and writing. Moreover, they lack the supportive community that they once had.1 As a lone medievalist, the struggle to produce scholarship and writing is difficult and complicated. Creating classes, curriculum planning, committee work, etc., all eventu-ally become routine. Sadly, the same cannot be said of research. From lack of library resources, to the reliance on oneself as an audience, the research process proves to be difficult. Despite these obstacles there are a number of ways to better facilitate re-searching and writing while still performing one’s teaching duties as the lone medievalist. The solutions and advice2 — focus-ing on the categories of research and collegiality — draw from The Rule of Saint Augustine. The solitary medieval monk serves as a surprising parallel to modern lone medievalist.
