It is this ("medi-eval") era that generated today's forms of education, identity, law, government, language, literature, architecture, art, and religious belief. We will study some of the key texts and artifacts plus cutting-edge historical scholarship on crucial developments. Readings include the Rule of St. Benedict, the Song of Roland, the letters of Heloise and Abelard, select medieval romances and fables, the Inferno of Dante, and new interpretations of the Black Death as the first global pandemic. Throughout the semester, we will focus on three main sites of interaction and energy: the monastic cloister, the princely court, and the medieval city. There are no prerequisites; students will be required to participate actively and thoughtfully in class discussions and exercises, complete all readings and assignments, two take-home exams and write two short papers.
