#medievaltwitter I've shared my rationale & design for a multilingual, non-chronological early British literature survey course, which I presented on at #mla2019. The link includes several syllabi: Origins to 1660 (semester & quarter) and Origins to 1800.

Gearing up for spring! I'm excited to teach this one again. #medievaltwitter
