HP 1101 - First-Year Seminar

Institution:

University of Wyoming

Subject:

HP

Description:

Quest narratives and epics are ways to think about identity; they also shape identity. This course will examine ancient, medieval, and modern texts (in translation), and we will look closely at issues of how we read these texts, and investigate how we think about them in different ways, cultures and times. We will discuss how we analyze the actions in similar episodes in different texts, and refine ideas about assumptions and information, as we read different kinds of research. We will read excerpts from The Iliad, Oedipus, Virgil, Ovid, Beowulf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Dante. Much of this will be on the course website or in a course reader.
