  • EN 355: Sex and Gender in Medieval French Literature

    1.00 Credits
    Wagner College

    One unit. Medieval France saw a new fl owering of interest in romantic love, but also a new imposition of control over sexual behavior by the Church. As a result there was an explosion of literature both celebrating and condemning a wide variety of erotic attitudes and practices, composed by churchmen, noblemen, and the few women who achieved the education and authority to write. We will read troubadour love lyrics, Arthurian romances, poems debating the merits of same-sex love, and selections from Christine de Pizan, widely considered to be Europe's fi rst feminist. The course counts as an elective for the English major and the French minor. All texts, whether written in French or Latin, will be read in English translation.
