Our high school study of literature runs in parallel to our study of history. While our tenth grade students are studying medieval history, we also have them study medieval literature. Studying the two subjects together makes each class a richer experience. This inductive study focuses on the texts and gives detailed reading assignments, observation questions, and discussion questions. The book is intended to kind a parent and student, teacher and student, or tutor and student as they read the important works of literature from Anglo-Saxon poetry and Beowulf to Chaucer and Hamlet. The Guide finishes with a study of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead which allows students to compare and contrast the medieval worldview, the Renaissance worldview, and the modern worldview. The text, analysis, and discussion questions are all written from a biblical, Christian worldview
