Beowulf Course
Beowulf Course
In the Old English epic Beowulf, the title character fights three monsters: Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and a dragon. Together, we will explore the symbolic meaning of each of these monsters, show what they each have to do with each other, and in the process grapple with the oldest epic in the English language.
Included in this course:
Eight weekly hour-long (or thereabouts) researched and insightful lectures on the texts from Dr. Paul Moffett, a PhD with years of university teaching experience.
Visual aids, in the form of slides or videos to accompany each lecture
Access to a discord discussion board where you can talk to me and to your fellow students about the text, the lectures, or whatever you want to!
Access to at least two live seminars where I will respond to directly to your questions and insights about the texts.
