C. Grisé

This course provides a thorough grounding for students in early primary source research- history, theory, criticism, and practice. Students develop a survey of cultural production and reception through to 1800 as well as examine specific aspects of this tradition through readings, case studies, and student work. Students design an individual research project on a primary text (or group of texts) of their own choosing from the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century.
