<p>Recommendations or Thoughts?</p>
<p>Depends on which period you want to specialise in - different universities focus on different ones. E.g., at Oxford you can’t just apply for ‘English’, because they have 6 different areas/time periods: 650-1550, 1550-1780,1780-1900, 1900 - present, English and American Studies, Medieval Studies. </p>
<p>Also, it depends on whether you’re looking for a PhD or a Masters. For a PhD, it will also depend on what supervisors are willing to take you.</p>
