Section Description

This course traces the emergence of a distinctive European civilization from the last days of the disintegrating Roman Empire to the cusp of the Scientific Revolution. Beginning with late Roman society and its Byzantine, Islamic, and western-European heirs, we will then more closely examine the Carolingian period of proto-European unity, the development of nascent nation states and the rise of papal power in the high Middle Ages, the challenges of the disastrous fourteenth century, and the reforms and renewals of the early modern era. Major themes of the class will include developments in the ways Europeans ruled and rebelled, thought and fought, believed and dissented, worked and played, wrote and represented, and imagined themselves in relation to the rest of the world.
