ENGL 402 - Medieval Celtic Literature

A study of selected texts from the medieval Welsh and Irish literary traditions. Readings span the period from the 7th to the 15th centuries and include such works as the Irish epic Tain Bo Cuailnge (“The Cattle Raid of Cooley”), the Welshmythological stories of The Mabinogi, and the love and nature poetry of Dafydd ap Gwilym. The course considers these works as cultural and historical artifacts, and also explores their accessibility to more modern critical and theoretical approaches. (Pre-1800 course.)
