授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか）Outline and objectives
Medieval and Early Modern English literature had a profound impact on the English language, and its literary and cultural legacy pervades modern popular culture, from fantasy novels to Hollywood blockbusters. The course introduces students to approximately eight centuries of English literature, beginning with Old English poetry and concluding with writers from the English Renaissance, such as Shakespeare and Spenser. By providing students with the opportunity to engage with texts across a wide spectrum of genres, periods, and languages, the course facilitates a deeper understanding of how English literature emerged and developed during this crucial period in literary history. Simultaneously, it encourages students to question pre-existing notions of 'English literature'. The writings will be studied with regard to their literary and socio-historical context, making reference to topics including race, religion, class, gender, and other thematic concerns. In addition to close analytical readings of the texts in modern English translations, students will also be introduced to literary forms and practices of pre-modern English literature through the examination of works in their original language.
Knowledge of Old/Middle English is NOT required for this course.
到達目標Goal
By the end of the course, students will:
- Gain basic knowledge of the major works and the cultural and historical circumstances of their production/reception.
- Understand key concepts and terms of literary studies, particularly those crucial to understanding medieval and early modern literature.
- Be able to analyse texts and make critical interpretations.
- Develop transferrable skills, including critical reading and academic writing.
