\nEver since I read Spencer\u2019s first book of the Faerie Queene in Professor Sider Jost\u2019s The Fairy Way of Writing class, wherein we read medieval and early modern pastoral works, I became fascinated with epic verse. I went to see the film The Green Knight, based on the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and I was inspired to approach the structure and context of these types of poems through my thesis. In particular, I liked exploring the purpose of the side quests that popped up along the main journey of the protagonist and were seemingly irrelevant to the main journey. They always yielded insight into some aspect of medieval or early modern life, and I want to learn more about the significance of the poem in medieval England through the stores its people wove together. <\/p>\n
\nThe first class I took which focused on Medieval works was Professor Skalak\u2019s Angels and Demons on the Early English Stage class which I took my sophomore year. Reading the plays that inspired so many other literary works, was so fascinating to me. Later, when I read Edmund Spencer\u2019s First Book of the Faerie Queene in Professor Sider Jost\u2019s The Fairy Way of Writing class, wherein we read medieval and early modern pastoral works, I became fascinated with epic verse. I went to see the film The Green Knight, based on the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and I was inspired to approach the structure and context of these types of poems through my thesis. I liked exploring the purpose of the side quests that popped up along the main journey of the protagonist. They always yielded insight into some aspect of medieval or early modern life, and I want to learn more about the significance of the poem in medieval England through the stores its people wove together. Upon consultation with both professors, I realized that I wanted to focus on Medieval Romances. This led me to explore more specific primary texts as well as re-reading the texts that I had enjoyed before. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
