| Course Description: | This course will study medieval Britain through its monsters, asking how these aberrant figures manifest the deepest fears and desires of their authors. From Arthurian legends through the world of the Crusades, supernatural figures like fairy lovers, evil giants, loyal werewolves, and cannibal kings negotiate English conceptions of gender, race, and nation. Texts (in modern English translation) may include Beowulf, the Lais of Marie de France, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Orfeo, the King of Tars, Mandeville’s Travels, and Richard Coeur de Lion. |
| Comments: | Open to First-Years Only. Not open to students who have taken a writing-intensive course at the 100 or 200-level in the LIT dept. |
