ENGL 259 Thematic Studies: Medieval Magic & Mysticism

Prerequisite: Completion of the Composition area of the core with a grade of C- or above. This reading-intensive course explores how magic and mysticism were woven into the fabric of medieval society. We will consider the categories of magic, religion and science, and attempt to discover where they intersect and where they diverge. We will also look at how medieval articulations of magic survive and continue to influence the popular culture of today. (H1, CT)
