VS-Literatures of Medieval Britain: Medieval English Dream Visions
Wolfram Keller
Kommentar
Between the fourteenth and the sixteenth centuries, dream poetry was one of the most popular insular genres. Besides longer allegorical dream visions, such as William Langland’s Piers Plowman, most late-medieval English poets (including Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, John Lydgate, Robert Henryson, Gavin Douglas, William Dunbar, John Skelton) penned dream poetry. Based loosely upon twelfth- and thirteenth-century continental models, medieval English dream poetry frequently offers sustained reflections both about meta-poetic and epistemological issues. Following a couple of sessions concerned with literary-historical and generic questions, we will discuss Chaucer’s dream poetry (Book of the Duchess, Parliament of Fowls, House of Fame, Prologue to the Legend of Good Women). In the second part of the semester, we shall then read fifteenth- and sixteenth-century dream poetry, especially with a view to how poets engage with the Chaucerian models. A detailed reading list will be available at the beginning of the semester. Schließen
