ENGL-524-01 Medieval Eurpoean Literature
Fall only
In this seminar, we will read classics of the medieval European literary tradition: troubadour lyrics, Chrétien de Troyes’s Lancelot, the Lais of Marie de France, Gottfried von Strassburg’s Tristan, legends of St. Francis of Assisi, the Cantigas de Santa Maria, and selections from Dante’s Divine Comedy, Boccaccio’s Decameron, and Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde. Our focus will be on close readings of the literary works, but we will also bring cultural contexts to bear in our efforts to better understand and enjoy them.
All readings will be in modern English translation.
