Germanic philology and its sources. The literary and ideological milieu of the old Norse saga
The course aims at providing the theoretical premises and the practical knowledge necessary for an understanding of the origins of the cultures developed by different Germanic ethnic groups, from prehistory onwards; The basic elements of Germanic linguistics, as well as their literary sources, will also be investigated. Chronologically, the course will mainly concentrate on the medieval period when the common cultural heritage can be more clearly perceived through the extant documents and literary texts worked out in the Germanic area. A part of the course will be focused on the Old Norse literary genre of the saga.
