Section Info:
Old English is the language spoken and written in England between roughly 500 and 1100 AD, and it offers a window to the past through a wide range of beautiful and evocative texts. In this course, you will encounter the very oldest English literature in its original form—the tales of kings, battles, heroes, monsters and saints that have inspired writers from John Milton to J.R.R. Tolkien. Because Old English is almost like a foreign language to Modern English speakers, the course will begin with intensive work on the basics of Old English grammar and translation practice before we move on to more in-depth study of the literature and culture of Anglo-Saxon England. Please note: This course fulfills the Pre-1800 requirement for English majors, and it may be used to fulfill the language studies elective option for Teaching of English students (with permission from an advisor). Requirements: daily attendance and participation, homework and quizzes, prepared translation, a midterm, and a final. Students taking the course for graduate credit will meet one extra hour per week (time TBD) and will write a seminar paper in addition to the regular course requirements.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
