Medieval Literature
Overview
Description
This course surveys the literary production in Europe and the Middle East from the advent of Christianity to the fall of Byzantium, covering approximately a thousand years of linguistic evolution. Students are invited to explore medieval quests in their various manifestations -- amorous, heroic, religious, communal, and political in order to understand medieval people's relationship to God, society, and the foreign. Representative works might include The Alexander Romance, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Sir John Mandeville's Book of Travels, Gower's Confession Amantis, and Boccaccio's Decameron. For students with two other upper-level (3000-level or above) English courses, this course may serve as the capstone for the Tier III requirement.
