| Course description | Through a study of selected medieval Spanish texts, coupled with an introduction to medieval Spanish culture (its history, art and architecture), this course will chart the emergence of national, cultural and individual identity in the Iberian Peninsula. By focusing on key themes such as death, love and religion, it will show how social conformity is constantly challenged and undermined by the subversive instincts of the Middle Ages. |
