horses, and precious cups” (Greenfield). Depending on one’s precise definition eight or nine elegies may be distinguished: The Wanderer, The Seafarer, The Riming Poem, Deor, Wulf and Eadwacer, The Wife's Lament, Resignation, The Husband's Message, and The Ruin. They form a genre of their own in that neither in form nor in contents do they resemble classical or more modern elegies. The course will revolve around these nine elegies. We will concentrate on the literary aspects and all poems will therefore be made available in translation, but some translation work is also envisaged (short passages from each poem). Primary and secondary material will be made available via Blackboard. Assessment/requirements: essay to be written in the last class under exam conditions. The topic may be decided in consultation with the lecturer. Only nonannotated primary texts may be used during the exam. 050 628 Houwen The Grail Romances, 4 CP 2 st. do 12-14 GABF 04/614 Süd The mysterious vessel known as the Grail, which starts its life as a platter but eventually turns into a chalice or a cup, first appears in Chrétien’s Conte du Graal from around 1180. In Middle English its later history is recounted in Malory’s Morte Darthur. For the early history of the Grail we have to turn to other texts and it is the early history that is central to this course. In early accounts the Grail is equated with the chalice of the Last Supper in which Joseph of Arimathea preserved the blood of Christ. Joseph takes this vessel to Britain, presumably to play a part in the evangelising process. The two that we will study are Joseph of Arimathie from the end of the fourteenth century and extracts from Henry Lovelich’s The History of the Holy Grail (c. 1430). We may also have a look at the later print(s) of the Joseph of Arimathea legend. Primary and secondary material will be made available via Blackboard (both texts are in the public domain). Assessment/requirements: Übung: 6-8 pages essay (excl. title page and bibliography; no table of contents please); <strong>Seminar</strong>: 8-10 pages.
050 629 Wagner Shakespearean Comedy, 4 CP Oxford Summer School This course is open only to the participants of the Oxford Shakespeare School. Participants will be introduced to the course content at the induction meeting. 050 630 von Contzen ‘Guess what I am!’ Old English Riddles and Maxims, 4 CP 2 st. mi 14-16 GB 6/137 Nord Riddles are one of the most fascinating texts surviving from the Old English period. Usually brief poems, they are written in enigmatic language and invite the reader to guess the solution. Some of the riddles are so mysteriously put that their solution has not been found to date. Through their playfulness riddles also provide a unique insight into Anglo-Saxon culture in that they grant access to objects and concepts that were important to the people. Like the riddles, maxims, typically long lists of everyday knowledge, communal ethics, and patterns of life experience, are examples of wisdom literature and equally important in the Anglo-Saxon corpus of texts. This course aims at introducing Old English riddles and maxims. We will look at the tradition of wisdom literature in Anglo-Saxon times, its cultural and social meanings and functions, and also discuss linguistic issues. Previous knowledge of Old English is desirable but not necessary to take part in this class. We will talk about Old English and attempt to translate selected extracts, but texts will also be made available in translation. All material will be uploaded to Blackboard. Assessment/requirements: Übung: 6-page essay; <strong>Seminar</strong>: 10-page term paper (wissenschaftliche Hausarbeit).
