This course aims to introduce students to the world of thought in medieval Northern Europe. Based on extant texts (ranging from historiography and saga literature to mythological texts), the course focuses on analysing the medieval concept of reality, religious images and ethical principles. It also aims to develop students' critical approach to foreign-language secondary literature.
