| Course Title: Topics in Medieval Studies: 'Perception and Deception in Medieval and Early Modern Literature' |
| Start Date: 09/04/2019 End Date: 12/17/2019 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2019 |
| Description: Medieval and early modern literature often desires to "paint" an image in our minds, but there are also inherent problems in how vision is represented and how easily those depictions can deceive. If vision is a means for gaining understanding, it is also subject to manipulation through theatrical, artistic, and literary means. Our class will explore how perception leads readily into deception through the works of medieval mystics, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, and Margaret Cavendish, among others. |
