Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

From courtly love poetry to saints' lives, from scientific treatises to The Canterbury Tales, the imaginative writings of the Middle Ages are full of gender identities that surprise in their strangeness but are closely linked to today's sexual norms and fantasies. Course readings include medieval chivalric, religious, scientific, and literary writings and reflect how sexuality and subjectivity are shaped in tandem as well as how sexuality can disrupt and transform stable selves.
