HIST 470 - Tudor and Stuart England: 1485-1714

(3.00)

An introduction to British politics, society, economy, religion and culture during the 16th and 17th centuries. It is under the Tudors that England developed into a strong and relatively wealthy nation state. The country also underwent revolutions in culture (the Renaissance) and religion (the Reformation). The 17th century was a turbulent one, with unemployment and poverty, witchcraft accusations and civil wars affecting the British people. But Britain also was emerging as a colonial naval and trading power, as well as a center of the Scientific Revolution. Recommended Preparation HIST 100 or HIST 110, or HIST 111, plus junior/senior status.
