Tutorials this week
Tutorials this week will focus on the topics of “World Travellers” and “Love, Sex, and Marriage”.
Readings (all available in Worlds of History):
- Ibn Battuta, “Travels” (Chapter 8, Reading 4)
- Murasaki Shikibu, “The Tale of Genji” (Chapter 9, Reading 6)
- Christine de Pizan, “The Book of the City of Ladies” (Chapter 9, Reading 8)
Questions to think about:
- What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the story of his travels?
- What do The Tale of Genji and The Book of the City of Ladies tell us about views regarding love, sex, and marriage in medieval Europe and Japan?
