ENG 19 - Early English Literature: From the Beginnings to 1485

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

The period known to historians of literature as the Middle Ages, approximately 1100-1500, was a time of great artistic innovation in England. In this course, students read the popular types of medieval literature - such as the chivalric romance, the fabliau or erotic comic tale, the beast fable, the lyric poem, the narrative ballad, the debate, and the drama - in terms of the intellectual context of the period. Beliefs about love, sex, marriage, religion, social and political relationships, art, beauty, money, and power affect the way writers of any age express themselves artistically; and it will be the work of this course to develop greater understanding of medieval thought processes as reflected in their literature. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
