Extractions: Aspects of Medieval Culture Section one: Chaucer's Clerk and Prioress: Medieval hate speech? We'll explore two of Chaucer's strangest and most intriguing Canterbury Tales. The Clerk tells the story of a man who cruelly "tests" his wife by making her believe he's killed their children; the Prioress tells about a young boy murdered by Jews and thrown into a privy. Should the questionable subject-matter and messages of these tales keep us from enjoying them as literature? Why are these tales still popular today, despite their unflattering presentation of minority groups? In this class, we'll discuss medieval history, art, and music and try different ways of reading to get a handle on these complicated texts. We'll extend the discussion into our own time and finish by seeing the 1995 film The Last Supper. Six papers will be assigned. >>Wetherbee, W. TR 10:10-11:25 Russell, R.

Extractions: Available for the first time in paperback, this classic work by renowned historian E.A. Thompson examines the fall of the Roman Empire in the West from the barbarian perspective and experience. Standard interpretations of the decline of the Roman Empire in the West view the barbarian invaders as destroyers. Thompson, however, argues that the relationship between the invaders and the invaded was far more complex than the common interpretation would suggest. This edition includes a new foreword by F.M. Clover and J. H. W. G. Liebeschuetz " Romans and Barbarians can and should be recommended to students of the late Roman Empire, of early Germanic history and society, and of the early medieval history of the Mediterranean area and of western and central Europe. . . . Thompson himself points out that very rarely if ever can we penetrate into the minds and attitudes of the barbarians whom we are trying to understand. In this and other writings Thompson has come as close to achieving this ideal as anyone is likely to."—Welden A. Ernest, German Studies Review "E. A. Thompson is one of the pioneers of the revival in the study of Late Antiquity. . . . [Here he] shows, once again, what can be done with a critical reading of the exiguous sources and relentless pursuit of their implications. Thompson's characteristic terse elegance, wit, and lucidity make the book as delightful to read as it is constantly illuminating."—R. A. Markus

Extractions: INTRODUCTION "A primary source is distinguished from a secondary by the fact that the former gives the words of the witness, or first recorder of an event. The historian, using a number of such primary sources, produces a secondary source". (Barzun, The Modern Historian , p. 94). A primary source is a work written at a time that is contemporary or nearly contemporary with the subject or period under study. Primary sources provide the raw data and information for the historian. A secondary source is a work that contains the explanation of, and judgements on, this primary material. A historical work is considered scholarly and reliable according to the extent to which it is based on "primary" sources, (i.e. the basic, raw, imperfect evidence). The book the historian writes is a "secondary" source. This bibliography is a selective list of primary sources in English, available in the University of Calgary Library. It is selective because these books represent a small portion of those available in the collection. The arrangement is by call number within each subject grouping To be used in conjunction with "Medieval Western Monasticism: Primary Sources in English in the University of Calgary Library."

Extractions: A quick history of Suevia (Swabia) Introduction The Suevi AD 500 - 1000 AD 1000 - 1500 The Donauscwaben Back to mainpage Introduction Swabia (German Schwaben, Latin Suevia), with its capital at Augsburg, was a medieval duchy in the lands now forming southwestern Germany. Its territories covered the area now occupied by Baden-Württemberg (the Black Forest) and parts of western Bavaria (to the Iller River) and northern Switzerland. It owes its importance to its strategic position between the upper reaches of two of Europe's most important rivers, the Danube and the Rhine. The region was first known to the Romans as Alamannia because at the time its settlers were the Germanic tribe of Alamans. When the Romans began to conquer the area, it was incorporated as part of the Agri Decumates. It later received its present name from later German migrants, the Suevi, who became amalgamated with the Alamanni in the 5th century AD. The Suevi Back to top These Suevi are probably actually best thought of as a collective group of a number of German tribes (including the Marcomanni and Lombards), which are mentioned in the 1st century BC by Gaius Julius Caesar as dwelling east of the Rhine River. The Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus (1st century AD) described them as inhabiting all of central Germany. One group of Suevi, allied with the Vandals and the Alans, swept down on the Iberian Peninsula in AD 407, conquered it from the Hispano-Romans living there, and apportioned out the territory. As a result, by 411 the Suevi were established in present-day northern Portugal and Galicia, and by 452, in Castile. They adopted Catholic Christianity and ruled until 469 when they were subjugated by the Visigoths, who had been co-opted by the rulers at Rome. The Suevi, and Alamanni, who remained in

Extractions: "When a Scythian overthrows his first enemy," Herodotus tells us, "he drinks his blood; and presents the king with the heads of the enemies he has killed in battle; for if he brings a head, he shares the booty that they take, but not if he does not bring one. He skins it in the following manner...." Well, OK, perhaps we don't need to revisit that part of the classics just now. But if you have a hankering for ancient and early-medieval history, Chronicles of the Barbarians will take you straight to the source. Among the other Greek and Roman authors cited in this anthology are Livy, Polybius, Tacitus, and Julius Caesar; later sections provide eyewitness glimpses of Genghis Khan ("in the subjugation of his foes his rigour and severity had the taste of poison") and Tamerlane (who "loved bold and brave soldiers, by whose aid opened the locks of terror and tore in pieces men like lions and through them and their battles overturned the heights of mountains"). One caveat: Edward Gibbon's passages on the death of Alaric and the Vandal attack on Rome are very eloquent, but they are, properly speaking, out of place in a collection of firsthand reports.

Extractions: Introduction [HTML] or [PDF format] Modern-day Europeans by the millions proudly trace back their national identities to the Celts, Franks, Gauls, Goths, Huns, or Serbsor some combination of the various peoples who inhabited, traversed, or pillaged their continent more than a thousand years ago. According to Patrick Geary, this is historical nonsense. The idea that national character is fixed for all time in a simpler, distant past is groundless, he argues in this unflinching reconsideration of European nationhood. Few of the peoples that many Europeans honor as sharing their sense of ''nation'' had comparably homogeneous identities; even the Huns, he points out, were firmly united only under Attila's ten-year reign. Geary dismantles the nationalist myths about how the nations of Europe were born. Through rigorous analysis set in lucid prose, he contrasts the myths with the actual history of Europe's transformation between the fourth and ninth centuriesthe period of grand migrations that nationalists hold dear. The nationalist sentiments today increasingly taken for granted in Europe emerged, he argues, only in the nineteenth century. Ironically, this phenomenon was kept alive not just by responsive populationsbut by complicit scholars. Ultimately, Geary concludes, the actual formation of European peoples must be seen as an extended process that began in antiquity and continues in the present. The resulting image is a challenge to those who anchor contemporary antagonisms in ancient mythsto those who claim that immigration and tolerance toward minorities despoil ''nationhood.'' As Geary shows, such ideologueswhether Le Pens who champion ''the French people born with the baptism of Clovis in 496'' or Milosevics who cite early Serbian history to claim rebellious regionsknow their myths but not their history.
