Please listen to the following lecture in audio format. I have divided it into three parts for your convenience, but it is ONE lecture.
"Some Conventions of Medieval Literature":
RIGHT-click (PCs only) on the following links, and download these files. Then you can listen to them from your own hard drive, using the "File-Open" menu on Realplayer. Part 1; Part 2; Part 3. (NOTE: Sometimes, depending on your browser, this changes the filename to X.rm.ram. If that happens, you have to remove the final .ram (dot-ram), so that the file extension is .rm. Then the file will play well).
Take careful notes. Then, please write 300 words on any TWO or THREE points the speaker makes in his lecture about medieval literary conventions and ways of thought, and which struck you as especially important, or interesting, or puzzling.
Please do not write about the modern conventions and ways of thinking that the speaker mentions. He does so only to contrast them with what we are interested in.
