This course will provide an introduction to the literature of the Middle Ages of Europe, the Christian civilization spanning more than 1,000 years and the foundation of so much of what came later. Our literary fare will be varied -- poetry, drama, epic, story, sermon, even riddles -- and the great themes of life will never be far from our attention. What themes? Why, sin for starters. It can be as beguiling and tempting as it is ugly and damning. But sin has neither the last nor the most important thing to say, ever since the first coming of Christ and now all creation awaits His second. We shall see the great drama and comedy of human life in this world -- an antechamber to the everlasting life to come -- played out, from king to peasant, from monastic to knight, on the stage of the literature of the Middle Ages.
Required Materials: Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course. These resources are listed to help inform your decision-making as you make course selections and build your course schedule. Please reach out to the instructor if you have any questions about materials.

Andy Newman calls western Nebraska home, that borderland where Midwest and West shake hands. There he has taught literature, composition, history, journalism, and the humanities for more than twenty years at the high school and college levels. This is his fifth year at Scholé. Before teaching, he worked in daily print journalism.
His education is varied, having earned master’s degrees in history and English from the University of Wyoming and the University of Nebraska at Omaha, respectively. Most recently, he earned a MTh in Applied Orthodox Theology from the Antiochian House of Studies and a MA in Biblical Theology from John Paul the Great Catholic University. He will defend his dissertation early in 2027 for the PhD in Humanities from Faulkner University.
