ENGL485

Magical Britain is an interdisciplinary course that introduces students to the history, culture and literature of the island of Great Britain through the oldest continually developing literary tradition in the English language: the Arthurian legends. In studying this corpus, students will come to understand Britain as a palimpsest: an island landscape of successive cultures in which the legends of Arthur have been avidly reimagined and shared up to the present day. Prerequisite: Engl 111.
