ENGL 140 - Arthurian Fictions

FC ARHU

4 credits
Stories about King Arthur and his knights have been popular favorites from the Middle Ages to our own day. The legend has been represented across the arts, in dozens of languages, in high and pop culture, as comedy and as tragedy. Rather than attempting to cover this vast and diverse tradition, the course will introduce a variety of key texts and genres (e.g. medieval romance, poetry, children’s lit, film) and methods of analysis. Not writing-intensive.
Prerequisites & Notes: Students may count one 100-Level course toward the English major.
