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
