Advice and Info on Oxford Masters in English

I am writing to request advice on the Mst. and MPhil offered at Oxford. I am an American student due to finish my undergraduate in British Literature in spring of 2006. Any information you might have would be very helpful!!

Hmm...I have friends on the MSt course. I think they're currently finding it a little frustrating: apparently it's not significantly different from undergrad. I mean, obviously, the thesis is longer, but apparently the lectures aren't aimed at a hugely higher level. Then again, these are people who got their firsts with some distinction...

I don't know...I've always been a little wary of Oxford English because of the historical (rather than prac crit) angle - but then, I've been thoroughly indoctrinated by the Other Place.

Hmm, this is all sounding a bit negative. I don't mean it to. I bet it would be an amazing place to study - there are some amazing fellows there, and it's a lovely town.

I don't really know anything about the MA at Oxford, but I did my D.Phil there and if you want to know anything [generic] relating to postgraduate study at Oxford, then feel free to drop me a PM.
