A survey course covering a range of themes in Western European history including social and economic developments, government, religion and warfare (c. 300 - 1400).
What were the Middle Ages? This course offers an introduction to an important period of change and development in European history. It seeks to establish the key features of a distinctive western European culture that evolved over the course of a thousand years, a culture which has played a critical role in shaping the modern world. The Europe of this course is the Europe of knights and castles; but it is also the Europe of the compass and the mechanical clock. It is the Europe of King Arthur and the Holy Grail; but it is also the Europe of the Norman Conquest and the first English Parliament. This course will offer a diverse approach to exploring the medieval world, one that will introduce you to a number of different forms of history ranging from religious history to political and economic history via cultural history and the history of political thought.Image: Kaiserdom, Speyer (from the Rhine)
