CWN Editor's Note: Nottingham University has placed “trigger warnings” on literary works that contain “expressions of Christian faith,” warning that some students might find them offensive.
The warnings appear on works in a course on Chaucer and his contemporaries, and apply to classic works including The Canterbury Tales, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Piers Plowman.
A university spokesman explained the warning: “Even those who are practicing Christians will find aspects of the late-medieval worldview… alienating and strange.”
