Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy has represented the classical tradition in the course, and the social science readings included, among others, an essay entitled "Navaho Medicine" by Donald Sandner, a Jungian analyst. In addition, Sandner's book, Navaho Symbols of Healing, provides a detailed, careful study of Navajo medicine men …
"Withoute Words": The Medieval Lady Dreams In The Assembly Of Ladies, Colleen Donnelly
"Withoute Words": The Medieval Lady Dreams In The Assembly Of Ladies, Colleen Donnelly
Quidditas
Two poems, The Assembly of Ladies and The Floure and the Leafe, are unique among Middle English dream visions due to the gender of their narrators; both are narrated by women. In his edition of these two poems, Derek Pearsall argues that whether they were told by women or not is really of little importance. There are many examples of men, such as Lydgate and Deschamps, writing as women. However, while men may speak for women in other types of poems, a woman narrator of Middle English dream vision survives only in these two poems. Moreover, as Alexandra Barratt …

Guinevere's Kidneys, Or The Lancelot–Grail Cycle And The Rise Of Realism, Norris J. Lacy
Guinevere's Kidneys, Or The Lancelot–Grail Cycle And The Rise Of Realism, Norris J. Lacy
Quidditas
One of the most remarkable monuments of medieval literature in any language is the thirteenth-century French Lancelot–Grail Cycle (also called the Prose Lancelot, the Vulgate Cycle of Arthurian Romance, or the Pseudo-Map Cycle—the last because the texts identify the author as Walter Map, who complicated matters, however, by dying well before the cycle was written). Before turning to the subject indicated in my title, I'll situate the cycle and offer a few details about its phenomenal importance.
