ENGL 147Medieval Histories, Chronicles, and Records
English · 5 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
Investigation of medieval history writing as literary tradition. Medieval histories survive in every language of medieval Britain, including Latin, Old English, Welsh, Irish, Anglo-Norman French, and Middle English. Multilingual ubiquity of history writing points to pressures of history on history writing—histories are always shaped by political, cultural, linguistic, and textual pressures of present tense. Texts may include histories, chronicles, material records, and historiographically engaged texts. May be repeated for credit with topic or instructor change.
