ENG-412 Women in Classical Antiquity

As an introduction to medieval literature, this course will focus on a wide range of topics and genres from the 5th-14th centuries. These include, but are not limited to, poetry, romance, Arthurian legend, lais, fabliaux, saints's lives, and dream visions. We will connect our texts to larger discussions on topics like monstrousness, sexuality, race, and the non-binary relationship between medieval femininity and masculinity. This course will also count as part of the WGS minor.
