MEDVL 2100
Medieval Romance: Voyage to the Otherworld

Course information provided by the 2017-2018 Catalog.

The course will survey some medieval narratives concerned with representative voyages to the otherworld or with the impinging of the otherworld upon ordinary experience. The syllabus will normally include some representative Old Irish otherworld literature: selections from The Mabinogion; selections from the Lays of Marie de France; Chretian de Troye's Erec, Yvain, and Lancelot; and the Middle English Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. We will finish by looking at a few later otherworld romances, such as selections from J.R.R. Tolkien. All readings will be in modern English.
