LIT 354 - Middle English Literature

Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

An examination of the difficulties inherent in reconstructing a literary tradition out of extant writing in English from the 12th to the 15th centuries. The course will focus on one or more literary genres (e.g., romance) and will focus on gaps in the historical development and definition of the chosen genre(s), as well as on attempts to fill those gaps to create a tenuous native English tradition. In addition, the course examines the social nature of the texts studied, based, as they are, on oral performance and appealing to a range of social milieux.
