ENG-314 Medieval Monsters, Monks, and Maidens

As an introduction to medieval literature, this course will focus on a wide range of topics and genres from the 5th-15th centuries. These include, but are not limited to, poetry, romance, Arthurian legend, lais, fabliaux, saints' lives, and dream visions. We will connect our texts to larger discussions on topics like monstrosity, sexuality, race, and the non-binary relationship between medieval femininity and masculinity.
