Tentative reading list for the rest of the term

Here is the tentative reading list for the rest of the term. I have tried to put together some representative readings on a few particular themes (the Norman conquest, the crusades, some British historians [including the murder of Beckett, an anecdote about Alfred the Great, a story about King Arthur], Abelard and Heloise, Hildegard of Bingen, and secular songs).

Of course, this is subject to revision as we go along, so make sure you come to class or check this blog to know what might be omitted and so that you won't prepare something you do not need to.

I will return the midterms on Feb. 10.
