The medieval love story "Tristan and Isolde" guides an exploration of transgressive, requited, passionate, sexual love across the centuries. We analyze the medieval German text in translation, study adaptations of the story and theme in different media (writing, film, opera) in later centuries, and consider change across time in the ways that people imagine the loving self in the social world.

  • Read Tristan and Isolde, a historic love story epic. Fun read, not too boring and manageable sections of reading per week. Enjoyable course.
