ENGL 348 - Women Writers of the Middle Ages

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This course will study works in a variety of genres, from the lyric and the romance to the autobiography and the moral treatise, written by medieval women in England, Europe, and Asia. In addition to analyzing the texts themselves, we will be examining them within their social, historical, and political contexts as we discuss such issues as medieval women's literacy, education, and relationships to the male-authored literary traditions of their cultures. Through the term, we will be trying to determine the degree to which we can construct a recognizable woman's literary tradition for this period. This course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written before 1800. Prerequisite: English 260 with a minimum grade of C-. 1.00 units, Lecture
