Crosslistings: MDST 205 |
This course of lectures will focus on the emergence of Britain by examining a series of formative moments and crises that blended Britons into a political, religious and ethnic community, but also differentiated them from outsiders. The course is therefore as much about the cultural creation of the English and the British as it is about the political events and military crises that occurred. The course begins in the 5th century, at the moment that the Romanized Celts in England and Scotland first felt the effects of the Germanic English invaders, and will conclude in the 18th century when England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland had been united under one Protestant monarch. It is a story guided by conquest, religion and ethnicity.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
