➥ Kennsluskrá (vor 2020, 10e, grunnnám)

Fjallað verður um mismunandi leiðir til þess að nálgast miðaldatexta, hvort sem er eftir hefðbundnum leiðum bókmenntafræði miðalda eða nútímabókmenntarannsókna. Þá verður lesið og rætt um viðhorf miðaldamanna til bókmenningar, sagnaskemmtunar og skáldskapar. Helstu greinar íslenskra miðaldabókmennta verða lesnar.

The characteristics of medieval textual culture will be discussed, as well as medieval attitudes to fact and fiction, entertainment and edification. Texts representing all of the most important genres of Icelandic medieval literature will be read.
