LIT3003 | Reading Western Medieval Literature | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor | 2-3 | Classics | - | No |
We will study major Western European authors active in the so-called medieval period. Possible texts include Prudentius's Psychomachia, Alan of Lille's Complaint of Nature, Dante's Divine Comedy, Chaucer's House of Fame and Parliament of Birds. Though we will read these texts in modern English translations, the instructor may occasionally recite these texts in Latin, Italian, or Middle English. We will pay special attention to allegory, a trope that dominates much of medieval literature. |
