ENGL 242 Global Medieval Literature

Prerequisite: English Composition Core or permission of instructor
This course introduces students to the cultural diversity of the global Middle Ages by focusing on tales of travel and exploration. Some of these journeys navigate real-world landscapes and others traverse imaginary terrain. What all of these journey stories share is an interest in encountering the unknown and unfamiliar (barbarians, foreigners, monsters, prodigies, heretics, etc.) as well as a realization of travel's potential for self-discovery—or self-alienation.
