Step out of the “Dark Ages” cliché and into an Age of Light. This course begins by dismantling popular myths with crisp, teachable distinctions, then equips you to reconstruct a coherent picture of the period from the inside out. The lessons have been chosen to help you understand how they approached various aspects of life from intellectual to spiritual, economic to social, personal to communal. At the same time, this course aims to help you think more like a Medieval, even if only as an exercise in understanding this fruitful and fascinating period.
