Putting Celtic into your Medieval Literature Survey
This two-day online workshop offers a tutorial in integrating medieval Irish and Welsh sources into a typical British Literature survey course for undergraduates. We will discuss the value of a broadly “insular” approach to the British Lit survey, offer ideas for combinations of Celtic and English texts and potential approaches to teaching them, and workshop participants’ course materials in a friendly forum for further discussion.
This workshop is free, though space is limited. It will be held on July 16 and July 17 at 10:30 EDT to 1:30 EDT. Please register here.
