Go Blue Devils
Feb. 15th, 2006 09:00 amA year and a bit ago, I went to the Newberry Library in Chicago specifically to read a 45-page Master's Thesis on "The Anglo-Saxon Scop." OK: I went to Chicago for an engineering conference, but while I was there I made a special side-trip to the Newberry. Anyway.
Christopher Page is one of "the names" in medieval music scholarship; I don't know if he's as prolific or wide-ranging as Timothy McGee, but he's no slouch. And his PhD dissertation was "Anglo-Saxon Hearpan : their terminology, technique, tuning and repertory of verse 850-1066."
IT MUST BE MINE!
So I went to trusty Interlibrary Loan, who told me that it's non-circulating. "Where does it live?" I asked, "so that I may visit it at its non-circulating home?"
Duke University, Durham, NC. That's a five and a half hour trip. I can do that...
Update: I have contacted the Duke Music Library. While the dissertation is too big for them to photocopy, they said to try ILL again. When the request comes through, they'll approve it. Huzzah!
