ENGL 43212 - Seminar: Mystic Voices

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

The divine "vision" was a special form of religious experience in medieval Europe. In this class we will read both primary texts and some modern critical theory to consider texts reporting visionary experience as problems of representation. How could experiences of such intensity be represented in writing? How were they to be interpreted? Who had the authority to do so? Why were visions so much more common to women than men?
