HARVARD UNIVERSITY TO OFFER A COURSE INSPIRED BY GAME OF THRONES

The prestigious Harvard University has announced that it will offer a medieval history course inspired by the fantasy TV series Game of Thrones. This course would come into effect from this autumn and will be titled "The Real Game of Thrones: From Modern Myths to Medieval Models”.

According to Sean Gilsdorf, a medieval historian and Administrative Director and Lecturer on Medieval Studies at the varsity reportedly described the course as one which will explore "a set of archetypal characters at the heart of Game of Thrones - the king, the good wife, the second son, the adventurer, and so on - with distinct analogues in medieval history, literature, religion, and legend".

Along with Gilsdorf, Racha Kirakosian, who is an assistant professor of German and the Study of Religion, will also teach the newly-designed paper at Harvard.
