HIST373-12S2 (C) Semester Two 2012
Renaissance and Reformation Europe

Description

This course examines two of the most important formative periods in European history: the Italian Renaissance of the fifteenth century and the religious reform movements of the sixteenth century.  The developments and changes that occurred in intellectual thought, the arts, and the collapse of traditional ecclesiastical structures across much of Europe and their replacement with new forms of religious practice contributed many of the characteristic features of European civilization still visible in the modern world.  Though the main focus of the course will be on intellectual, cultural and religious change in the period, due attention will be paid to the social and political context in which these changes occurred.
