EN 382 Medieval Women


Explores the facets of women’s connections to text during the Middle Ages through the lens of feminist literary theory. Women of the Middle Ages were the subject of many writers’ platitudes and chastisements and secular, religious and pedagogical texts. This course will challenge the modern notion of medieval women as silent and docile and explore the multi-faceted relationship of women and text during the period.

Prerequisite: Junior standing or above.
