"I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race where that immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat"

from John Milton's Areopagitica (1644)

I am neither a movie critic nor a model Christian. I am just a follower of
Christ, who is struggling to know herself and God and to be the best
representative of both that she can be.

I am studying Early Modern British Literature at UNC, CH and developing a
dissertation prospectus on the formulation of subjectivity through religious
inquiry, gender identification, and generic play in Renaissance England.
