#  English 202s. Saints' Lives in Old and Middle English 

 



 Instructor: [Daniel Donoghue](/people/daniel-donoghue)  
Tuesdays, 12:00-2:45 pm | Location: Barker 269

 Our exploration of the lives of saints falls into three parts: the first focuses on translation of individual saints' lives, with attention to the language of Old English; the second will read broadly and deeply into the newly-published collection of The Old English Lives of Saints by Ælfric, in three volumes from the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library; the third will trace the transition from Old English to early Middle English using the lives of Juliana, Margaret, and Katherine, with some attention to Anglo-Norman Lives. Much of the secondary reading will be decided after we meet and take the measure of the varieties of student interest.
