GK-Medieval English Literatures: Middle English Poetry

Wolfram Keller

Comments

This lecture familiarizes students with Middle English literature, that is, vernacular literature written in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries. While the focus of the lecture will be on late fourteenth-century and early fifteenth-century literature – on authors like Geoffrey Chaucer (dream poetry, Troilus and Criseyde, Canterbury Tales) and John Lydgate (Temple of Glass, Troy Book) – students will also be introduced to earlier Middle English renditions of Anglo-Norman romances and Breton lays, such as King Horn and Sir Launfal, as well as to late fifteenth and early sixteenth-century poetry, like Robert Henryson’s Testament of Cresseid and Gavin Douglas’s Palice of Honour.
