MWF, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
From the Anglo-Saxon clans to the monasteries of medieval England, from the court-cliques of Henry the 8th to the bloody factions of the Civil War, it was all about social networks and what held them together or broke them apart. We’ll read literature defining and responding to the groups and outcasts of English cultures from 800-1700 CE: poetry, plays, early novels, diatribes, histories, and legends. We’ll use a custom anthology and do lots of collaborative work.
