Perspectives on the Nordic Countries in the Middle Ages
The Nordic countries were in many aspects connected with rest of Europe, but also had many original characteristics, which deserve a closer examination. In this course students will take a look on various phenomena of the Nordic countries in the Middle Ages e.g., crusading ideology and crusades in the north, urbanisation and state formation, cults of saints and traditions of vernacular literature. These themes will give the students good grounds to build a comprehension of the interplay of centre and periphery in the Middle Ages. The designers of the course are participants of activities within the project Nordic Centre for Medieval Studies.
