The series of lectures and class discussions will introduce you to a representative selection of medieval English texts taken from historiographical writings, epic narratives and Middle English romances, instructional and devotional literature, and humorous fiction. Apart from providing a brief discussion of individual works, it will offer insights into the medieval world view (including the hierarchy of the universe and the concept of the otherworld), the basic structure of medieval society and aspects of secular and religious life in the Middle Ages, many of which have left their traces on modern times.
Language of instruction: English. Required language level: C1-C2.
A reader of the relevant primary texts will be made available to students at the beginning of the semester.
