Course Description:
This course will invite you to locate and examine the artifacts, art objects, rare books, and digital archives found in Trinity's special collections, with a focus on early English literature that registers or inspires transhistorical or transcultural encounters. We will focus in the first half of the semester on materials (literary and theoretical) that will ground us in the study of early literature. In the second half of the semester we will focus on selected case studies that illuminate how objects found in Trinity's special collections can enhance our engagement with this literature. |
