As both an English major and an unofficial transfer success story, I find joy in mentoring the youth; and so, I am here to caution certain crowds against joining the Barnard English Department class titled “Romance.” This course focuses on the chivalric romance written within the 5th to 20th centuries, NOT a graphic Harry Styles fanfic written by a modern tween on AO3 or Wattpad. I caution eager students—specifically those who were formerly freaky middle and high schoolers—against enrolling in such a course under the false pretense of smut and lore!
