| Title |
Rethinking Medieval Literature (PRE-1800) (International BA students and MA Lecture Literature) (GRADED) |
| Description |
How can we reimagine medieval literature through a contemporary lens? This course introduces students to a variety of exciting new approaches to medieval literature. Working with topics like the global Middle Ages, race, gender, queer and trans approaches, objects, and the senses, each lecture sets out a different way of approaching medieval literature from a variety of different genres. The course will also emphasise writing by women and question the canon. The lecture series will be interactive, requiring students to do preparation reading and writing exercises before most lectures, which will replace the end-of-term exam. The lecture will provide an introduction to medieval literature for students with little prior knowledge and also deepen knowledge for those who have already taken courses in this area. It will serve the purpose of cultural sustainability by providing new perspectives on historic literature.
Required Reading: Reading will be uploaded to ILIAS. |
