Reihe: Teaching the Middle Ages

Teachers of medieval literature help students bridge the
temporal, contextual, and linguistic gulfs between the Middle Ages and the
twenty-first century. When episodes involving rape are thrown into the mix,
that task becomes even more difficult. Students and teachers bring a variety of
experiences to the classroom. This volume proposes ways educators can help
students navigate the divide between in- and out-of-class experiences and offers
suggestions for classroom activities and assignments for a range of medieval
texts, as well as insight into the concerns of students in various settings.
