University of New Brunswick

Medieval studies are not one of the areas that the University of New Brunswick emphasises. It is only in the English Department that they are substantially taught, and the department does not require eidier Old or Middle English for the doctorate. We do have three medievalists: an Anglo-Saxonist (myself) and two middle English specialists—Christa Canitz at the Fredericton campus and Janies Noble at Saint John. It is likely that Old English will disappear from our offerings when I retire in five years.
