Credit(s): 4
Lecture: 4
Non-Lecture: 0
Medieval Literature concentrates on literature from AD 500-1500, with Old English literature (in translation) and Middle English Literature (some in translation, most in original texts). The course presents specifically medieval genres, such as: epic poetry, sermons and chronicles); Middle English debate poetry, devotional poetry, romances (Arthurian and non-Arthurian), frame narratives, mystical writing, and the drama of the mystery and morality plays. These readings will closely consider aspects of Old English and Middle English grammar and also the intertextuality of medieval British literature in two senses: with non-literary and non- British works (the Bible, medieval European literature, historical documents and images, medieval commentaries) and in the reception of literature through modern scholarship. (May be taken twice for credit under different subtitles.)
