Biography of Author Presenting at Accio 2008

Andrea Schutz

Dr. Andrea Schutz teaches Old and Middle English at St. Thomas University, in Fredericton, NB, Canada. Her greatest obsessions are shape-shifting, particularly werewolves, and monstrosity in the Middle Ages generally. She is (still!) working on a book about shapeshifting, tentatively entitled 'A Sense of Skin and Self: Shapeshifting in Medieval Literature'. Her students have begun referring to her as 'the nicest werewolf they've had the pleasure of knowing'. This is ridiculous; the title obviously belongs to Remus Lupin, even if only in memoriam.
