My name is Sarah Pedzinski, and I am @readerofdragons! I’m currently pursuing my PhD at Indiana University Bloomington, where I am also employed as an Associate Instructor of English. My dissertation focuses on Old English dragons as natural creatures. My other research interests include heroics in both Old English and Old Norse literatures, though I also have a soft spot for Shakespeare and Early Middle English literature, specifically Havelok the Dane.
