Building the Pedestal: The Representation of Women in Medieval and Renaissance Lyric Poetry
FREN231 FA

Chivalry, courtesy and courtly love were invented, defined and refined in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. This entire ethical, political and economic system, which remains largely intact today, was founded on certain images and concepts of women, men, and the nature of the relationship between them, images and concepts that were constructed in the lyric poetry of this period. This course will investigate that process of construction.
