Class Description:
This course introduces students to late medieval literature as a field of professional scholarship and concern. We concentrate on five works/authors central to the field: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; Chaucer's Canterbury Tales; Langland's Piers Plowman; the Book of Margery Kempe; and Malory's Death of Arthur. Two questions guide our sessions: 1. how do I teach medieval literature? and 2. what kinds of research projects might one pursue in relation to this literature? We take an eclectic approach to criticism/theory/history and look at some of the most compelling approaches to the field in recent years including the history of emotions; the new literacy studies; the new formalism; and a broad range of studies investigating gender and religion. Students will write a book review; a short essay/project about teaching; and a seminar paper. Oral presentations are also required. Students concentrating in the early periods will read the works in Middle English; those less familiar with the field may want to read works in parallel-text editions.
