EGL 203 - The Age of Heroes

Course Units: 1.0
(Not Offered this Academic Year) In 410 the Romans abandoned Britain, withdrawing to the continent just as pagan Germanic raiders began to challenge the island’s native Picts and Celts. In 1066 the Duke of Normandy crossed the Channel and kicked a Danish king off the throne of a fully Christianized England. In between these two events lies the matter of this course: the subtle and sophisticated literature, art, and culture of early medieval England. We will explore its evolution and wrestle with thorny questions about the significance and meaning it has been accorded over the centuries. Prerequisite(s): One 100-level English course or a score of 5 on the AP English Language or Literature and Composition test. CC: HUL, HUM, WAC
