I joined AUC for my master's. And I think it was in the margins of a paper on Romantic Theory that John Rodenbeck wrote – in his distinctive, black-inked, broad-nibbed calligraphy – that he wished my paper read less like a laundry list. By the time I'd written – for him –my thesis on Romeo's deathwish I'd worked out some kind of a style. Thank you, John, and thank you, AUC.
