ENGL 022 - Romance

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Distribution Course in Arts & Letters. Class of 2009 & prior only. This course will focus on what is arguably the most extravagant, adventuresome, and fantastical of the literary genres: the Romance. We will read a number of medieval and renaissance romance narratives, in verse and prose, beginning with the Arthurian romances (Malory's MORTE D'ARTHUR, SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT) and continuing with as many (and as much) of the great renaissance romances as time will allow: Sir Philip Sidney's ARCADIA, Edmund Spenser's THE FAERIE QUEEN, and Lady Mary Wroth's URANIA. See the English Department's website at www.english.upenn.edu for a description of the current offerings.
