FYRP 121     First-Year Seminar: Medieval Sewanee  (4)

An exploration of Sewanee’s medieval roots, as well as its “medieval” present, from the way it builds its buildings to the way in manages its forests and its noble “domain.” Students will experience various forms of medieval culture, including Old English riddles, Gothic cathedrals and French romances, and explore the way that Sewanee continues the millennium-long tradition of university education. Students will examine texts in our archives, works of art in local museums, and even Sewanee’s pre-modern history on its domain. Open only to new first-year students.
