Thank you for your reply!
I'm really confused about it though, I don't think coin tossing will work, lol!

Old Norse OR Romanticism
E

Hello

I am about to start my Masters course and I have to choose between Old Norse and Sagas or Romanticism and Victorian poetry modules.
The problem is I see myself doing research into Mythology and Folklore after my Master, whereas I have never, ever studied a germanic language. I am also very much in love with the Romantics and it is a subject I have studies quite extensively.
What troubles me mostly is that my Uni (Durham, UK) has a very strong Medieval dept. and it's a great chance for me to broaden my horizons. So the question is: do I take the road less travelled (Old Norse) and broaden my horizons, or do I stick to what I know and do well (Romanticism)?

Any advise is welcome, I am quite desperate!
