Deceit,Disguise and Medieval Narrative

ENGL2662

In the Middle Ages notions of deceit, disguise, and temptation permeated how people thought about the world, their place in it, and the roles of God, the devil, and death. This worldview generated some of the most exciting, moving, and even comic literature of the Middle English tradition, ranging from Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales' to the recollections of the mystical Margery Kempe. This unit of study focuses the varied ways in which poets, playwrights, and memoirists negotiated a world of tricksters.
