This introductory course surveys the history of Europe during the formative period of the modern era from 1500 to 1800. It focuses on the crucial episodes of religious and political conflict in these centuries, while also highlighting key intellectual, cultural, and economic developments: the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Reformation, the English civil war, the French Revolution, court culture, the scientific revolution, the rise of capitalism and plantation slavery, and the Enlightenment. Required for the European History concentration, this course also provides essential historical grounding for any student interested in study abroad or in modern culture and politics.
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.
