This class is geared towards students of Old English looking for a fascinating new poem to translate. The Old English "Phoenix" has an intriguing history as a work of poetry, adapting an older Latin poem, mixing it in with scripture, and meditating upon a Christianized meaning taken from an older source. As a study in both language and Medieval history, it is a treasure trove of a resource and a delightful adaptation of a mythic tradition.
*Note: There will be a substantial amount of translation in-class, which will take a lot of time if students are preparing it all outside of class. Students do not have to come with the translation complete - it is more important to simply be there.
The module will follow an 8-session structure as shown below:
