- Inhalt
- Description:
Set against the backdrop of the Trojan War, the love story of Troilus and Criseyde was to become one of the favourite topics in medieval literature. The story was adapted in French and Italian before it was tackled by Geoffrey Chaucer in the mid 1380s. This literary and linguistic masterpiece is the focus of attention in this seminar. We will discuss both the linguistic and the literary makeup of the text on the basis of close reading. Starting from there and always with consideration of the linguistic background, we will also investigate central topics of medieval literature such as providence, fate and free will; human (courtly) love and divine love; friendship; and the role of women.
The Übung, which accompanies the Hauptseminar (Wednesday, 14:15-15:00) is designed to discuss project work and other assignments individually and/or in small groups. Individual arrangements will be made – also, if necessary, concerning the time of the Übung. Therefore clashes with other courses scheduled for the same time slot as the Übung can be avoided. The first Übung session will not take place before the second week of term. Further information will be given in the first session of the seminar.
Before our first meeting, students are asked to familiarize themselves with the story as told by Chaucer in a modern-language translation, either in Modern English (Coghill 1971; Windeatt 1998) or Modern German (Obst / Schleburg 2000). Warning: Translations which are available on the internet are not reliable!
The critical edition which we will use in class is The Riverside Chaucer, ed. by Benson et al. (1987); the original text and other material will be made availabe on Virtueller Campus.
