WiSe 12/13: V-Literatures of Medieval Britain I: Secrets of Medieval English Text Interpretation

Regina Scheibe

Comments

The series of lectures will introduce the student to the major theories of medieval text interpretation. Time will be set aside to practise applying these theories to a selection of medieval English narrative poems, among them the Legend of St George and the two allegorical dream visions The Kingis Quair and Pearl. Particular emphasis will be placed on animal, stone, plant and colour imagery, and their impact on modern literary and fine art. Representative, seminal background writers on medieval hermeneutics whose works will be discussed will include St Augustine, Dante Alighieri and Giovanni Boccaccio.

A reader of texts will be made available at the beginning of the semester.

Language of instruction: English. Required language level: C1-C2. close
