Well, you could be in Medieval Studies, where there would be about a dozen courses. Or you could be in Elizabethan Litt, and teach a half dozen courses on Shakespeare alone. Or you could be a Romanticist, and teach from any of about two dozen courses (Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, Romantic prose, Romantic ecology). Or you could be a Victorian specialist (another two dozen, easy). Or you could be a Modernist (three dozen, maybe). Or a postmodernist (another 3 dozen). Or you could teach feminism. Or postcolonial Litt. Or Black American writing. Or the novel. Or popular culture. There's no end, really.

Yes, but people couldn't have imagined ChatGPT way back when.
Anyway, I want to walk back my comment. I forgot that the average IQ here is less than 100.

Some smartish people here have degrees in other subjects, I think. Not to blow our own trumpets, but the ones who do English tend to have a distinctively tolerant and broadminded perspective (look at Ash; I don't mention myself because my board persona is quite bloody-minded and evil).

Oh please! Mine is at least 105!
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.
