EH 301 - Old and Middle English Literature


Credits: (4 credits)

Intensive study of Old English literature in translation and Middle English literature in both the original and translation gives the lie to the old habit of referring to the Middle Ages as the Dark Ages. Along with appreciating the imaginative richness to be found in medieval literature, students chart the rise of a national literature in England.

Notes
The course usually includes such works as Beowulf, The Battle of Maldon, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and The Canterbury Tales.
