| HMAN 1970C - Europe in the Vernacular |
|
Why did a few early medieval European authors write not in Latin or Arabic but in vernacular languages like Castilian, Early Middle English, or Old French? We will read primary texts by La¿amon, Alfonso X, Dante, troubadours and anonymous others, and assess previous claims about the "rise of the individual" and various proto-nationalisms as we potentially rewrite the story of how, why, and for whom vernacular writings came to be. Readings in modern English supplemented by medieval languages. Graduate projects must engage a text in a medieval language.
