Oh god- I loved so many- Zender was unbelievable (particular interests- Lit. of the South and Shakespeare), Abbott is great (Elizabethan literature), Simpson is brilliant (Wordsworth, Victorian lit), Hicks is a riot (literature of California), Chaganti is also really neat (Chaucer). Van Leer is enthralling (homosexual literature, and Puritan literature, which by the way he made interesting so that tells you what kind of professor he is), and Shershow helped me to understand and enjoy modern literary theory, which is impressive; those individuals really blew me away. The department is also very accomodating and really willing to help their students. On the other hand, there are reallyl a few you should stay away from- I would be happy to let you know who those might be outside of a public forum.
Anyway, good luck with applications and if I can be of further help, let me know. I'm not too optimistic with mine- I applied to 6 schools, but I just don't have the GRE subject test scores down. I can't see them justifying accepting my application over someone else who does. But I did establish contact with professors who shared my interests, so maybe they will fight for me.
