Other Details
Parental Guidance
It must be noted that while this book is invaluable for his historical content and perspectives of medieval literature, some sensitive topics that will be addressed throughout the course including but not limited to: death due to sickness and plague, one-sided view of the Crusades, and English religious organizations of the time period such as, priories, monasteries, religious schools, etc. We will be noting and discussing these things during the conversation parts of the course. I have a M.A. in History and am also a licensed elementary and high school history educator. I believe in offering a multi-sided perspective in historical accounts.
