- This course offers an outline of English literature from its beginnings to the end of the 15th century, including the historical background and some recent criticism. In the Old English period we will focus on riddles, elegies, the heroic epic Beowulf and the religious poem The Dream of the Rood. We will also briefly examine the phenomenon of The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. In the Middle English period we will be looking at Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and the Arthurian romances in the alliterative poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and in Thomas Malory's Morte D'Arthur. We will also trace the tradition of popular ballads.
