ENGL 44235 - Old English Poetry

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

"A close study of a selection of Old English poetry, including elegies, laments, riddles, and heroic narratives, illustrating the distinctive thematic and stylistic qualities of Old English poetry. Students will be able to test their imagination against texts which are in many cases so enigmatic and so short that scholars have not been able to establish their meaning and context. Despite their mysterious content, the fragments nevertheless manage to convey a haunting sadness and should be seen as some of the most beautiful poems in the English language."
