Medieval and Renaissance Literature

Courses > ENGL > 203

This course begins with the influence of the Roman Empire on historical texts from Britain. The development of Old, Middle, and Early Modern English is examined, in part, through Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, and Doctor Faustus, respectively. Students are also introduced to the origins and growth of medieval universities and their influence on both European literature and logical thinking. Terms of literary and logical analysis are applied to texts and individual research.
