Literature of Middle Ages

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course moves through various pieces of Middle-age literature, beginning with the epic poem Beowulf. The format is very similar to my English courses at Notre Dame, which is read assigned texts and return to class to discuss them. The professor leads and directs the discussions with a set of pre-written questions we can answer as we read along. So far, we have read Beowulf and the Song of Roland. An English translation was provided for Beowulf, but not for Roland, though I found one online. We are writing three short essays and then a final argumentative paper at the end of the semester. The first paper has already been written and is attached. We discuss and write only in Spanish.
