By the way.....what are you planning on concentrating on for Grad school? Are you doing a specific period or style of literature or anything?
As for Piers....I'll have to dig up a sample online or something and see if the language is beyond me. I've read Spenser, Chaucer and Malory (well, working on Malory), but Piers is older than all of those. I suppose with a good dictionary/glossary/footnotes I could get it done.

I like Dickens' long works too. Oliver and Copperfield are my favorites so far. I'll have to hit up the used bookstore and see if I can fish out a copy of Bleak House.
