Medieval French at Oxford

 

Undergraduate students can study a variety of topics in Medieval French literature:

 

Paper VI: French Literature to 1530 (period paper)

 

Paper IX: Medieval Prescribed Texts

(Chanson de Roland – Béroul's Tristan and Iseut – Villon's Testament)

 

Paper XII: “Medieval Intersectional Identities” 

 

Paper XIV: Dissertation

If you're interested in researching medieval French literature for a Paper XIV, do get in touch with Professor Daron Burrows (St Peter’s College), Professor Sophie Marnette (Balliol College) or Professor Helen Swift (St Hilda’s College), ideally as soon as Trinity Term of your second year in Oxford, so that you've chance, through discussion, to identify your topic and set up a reading list for your Year Abroad (or long vacation, if your Year Abroad is in your second year). If you're doing a Joint School, remember that medieval French can of course alternatively form part of a Bridge/Extended Essay for HML/EMEL or an EML Dissertation. There are plenty of resources on Canvas to help you doing research on Medieval French Literature!

 

 

For further details including reading lists, check the relevant canvas pages.

 

 

The Medieval French community also includes college lecturers, research fellows and graduate students who may be available to teach tutorials.
