<strong>Seminar</strong>e 050 622 Geisen Shakespeare’s Romances, 4 CP 2 st. di 14-16 GB 5/39 Nord This seminar will deal with Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale and The Tempest in the Arden editions against the background of the Elizabethan age and dramatic tradition. Credits will be obtained by regular participation and a seminar paper of 15 pages or a paper of 10 pages if the class is taken as an "Übung". --- --- Houwen Introduction to Old English, 4 CP 2 st. mi 12-14 GB 03/42 (vgl. Vorl.-Nr. 050 611) Description: ‘Hwelcne cræft canst thu?’ (from Ælfric’s Colloquy on the Occupations). Looks strange, doesn’t it? Well, that’s Old English for you – the ancestor of Modern English. The people who spoke Old English were the ‘Anglo-Saxons’, i.e. Germanic tribes who settled in Britain after the Romans (c. 450 A.D.) Most of our records of the Old English language date from the period between about 850 A.D. and about 1100 A.D. and they offer a fascinating insight into Anglo-Saxon history, literature and culture. Aim: What can you expect from this course? In this course participants will acquire a basic knowledge of the Old English language and of the literature of Anglo-Saxon England. If you have an interest in language, what English looked and (to some extent even) sounded like in the early Middle Ages, if you are curious about the past, and about experiencing cultures that are different from your own, then you might enjoy this course. Procedure: Active participation is one of the basic requirements as well as the reading and translating of the set texts for each week. Required reading: The texts will be made available via Blackboard. Assessment: There will be a written exam in the final session.
050 623 Houwen Excalibur Strikes Again: Thomas Malory’s Morte D’Arthur, 4 CP 2 st. mi 10-12 GB 03/49 Description: This course will concentrate on only one work, namely Le Morte D’Arthur by Thomas Malory (c. 1408-71). The Morte D’Arthur is generally considered the high point among Middle English (prose) romances and despite its title, aims to be a comprehensive and authoritative collection of Arthurian stories, starting with the story of Merlin and ending with Arthur’s death. It draws liberally on earlier French and English romances and Caxton’s version set the standard on which later English writers like Tennyson drew for their Arthurian material. Procedure: Students are expected to read the set texts and write a book review of any work of secondary literature dealing directly or indirectly with Malory’s Morte D’Arthur. Assessment: Active participation is one of the basic requirements as well as the reading of the set texts for each week. The course is rounded off with an essay. The length of the essay and the severity with which it is evaluated (and hence the number of credit points) depends on whether this course is taken as part of the BA or the MA. Required textbook: Sir Thomas Malory: Le Morte D’Arthur, ed. Helen Cooper. Oxford World’s Classics. Oxford: UP, 1998. 050 624 Houwen Editing Medieval English Texts, 4 CP 2 st. di 16-18 GABF 04/614 Süd Description: Medieval texts largely survive in manuscript form with some later ones coming to us in early printed books (incunabula) as well. Yet we tend to study them in edited book form. This means that what we study has already gone through the editing process and this has involved making thousands of decisions that help shape the final text. Many of these are relatively small, but some can be of crucial importance to our understanding of the text. One such example would be the choice of manuscript for an edition of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales (Ellesmere or Hengwrth?). Both of these are early, but the scholarly community has at times been sharply divided about the relative merits of either manuscript, if only because not all tales found in the one also appear in the other, thus casting doubt on their authenticity.
