ENG 376 - Medieval Literature(4 credits, alternate years, consult department)
The Middle Ages was a Christian millennium. Authors, philosophers, astronomers and economists pursued their calling within a Christian worldview and a Catholic power structure. When warlike Anglo-Saxons imagined the crucifixion, they saw a heroic prince stripping for battle and mounting the cross in triumph. Medieval dramatists recreated the entire pageant of biblical history on a long summer’s day. In this course we read literary and historical works by both men and women, including Beowulf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and The Canterbury Tales.
Prerequisite: ENG220.
