In this course, we will survey a wide range of films about the Middle Ages, placing them in conversation with medieval source material, historical contexts, and contemporary political issues. What makes Games of Thrones appeal to such a wide audience? What makes the legends of Robin Hood and King Arthur endure across so many historical periods and narrative formats? How does experiencing these stories through film differ from experiencing them through poems, plays, or novels? Class meetings will consist of weekly film screenings on Mondays and seminar-style discussion on Wednesdays. Requirements for the course include regular attendance and participation, occasional film reviews, a midterm, a final exam, and an independent research paper.
