ENGL 306 - Medieval Literature: Monsters, Mayhem, and Temptation 3 hours
A study of medieval genres ranging from Beowulf, the first medieval superhero, to the tempting of Gawain, King Arthur’s best knight of the Round Table. In understanding the history of the English language and the evolution of British literature, we better understand western culture with its politics and preoccupations. We will explore such ideas as true love, constructs of manhood, the “just war”/crusades, gender in/equalities, and class at a time when the modern formulations of these concepts were just evolving into being.
Prerequisite(s): ENGL 102
