| Long abstract | The way I found to ease the many negatives of being both the lone medievalist and the first tenure-track woman in the English Department at a small private university (as Rice was at the time I arrived in 1973, with 2,300 undergraduates and 1,000 gradu-ate students) was to learn to build on connections with others, whether students or colleagues. After finishing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois in 1971, I had taught for two years at the snow-laden University of Saskatchewan-Saskatoon. Longing to return to an urban environment, I came to sunny Houston as a very young assistant professor, girded with a book contract in hand for a revised dissertation and boundless optimism. Two medievalists had taught in the department prior to my advent, but I was hired specifically to replace the Anglo-Saxonist. |
