I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible. I keep these entries from the years of my life - no matter how i feel about them today - available because i find it useful to revisit events i now interpret differently. My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984.

The Mary-Poppins’-Carpetbagesque Reading List

Ok. That’s it. I am tired of finding references to Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism in just about every article I read – in works ostensibly about the French Revolution, literary theory and even early modern witchcraft theory. It was going to be on the summer reading list – but it has just become a priority for the winter break on par with actually completing the other 92 pages of translation I need to do and the historiography paper on the Napoleon in Italy. Did I just call that a break? Really? But, then again, how can I complain? Paid to read things I would want to read anyways isn’t exactly worthy of bemoaning.
