Since the course will not officially meet until May 19, here is a list of initial primary readings that we’ll cover in the first several weeks of lecture. A full list of readings and required assignments will be provided at the first class meeting.
- Beowulf, (translation by Seamus Heaney). We’ll focus primarily on the first two episodes, the encounters with Grendel and Grendel’s mother (pages 3-131/lines 1-1904), although students are welcome to read beyond that in preparation for lecture. When the class meetings begin, I’ll also bring in some material about Heaney as a translator, which is why I’ve ordered this edition specifically.
- William Shakespeare, The Tempest
- Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels. We’ll be talking mostly about Book 4 (“A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms”), but students are again welcome to read beyond that.
