anghraineI reblogged a post from Dec 2016 in which I said:
My 2020 addition:
I was going through my Borgias tag for Reasons and … lol, it’s three and a half years later, but that is the paper that got me into my PhD program and I’m currently studying for my exam in 16th century lit.
[ETA 20 July 2023: I was actually just talking on Tumblr about how I owe more of my academic career to Neil Jordan than Austen, lol.]
I’m seriously considering using my paper on The Borgias as my writing sample for one of the PhD programs.
It is genuinely the best thing I’ve ever written, and this program specifically suggests using a sample with “a significant research component.” And, uh, LOL.
