HIST 352 - Age of Napoleon

Institution:

Ramapo College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

In the space of a single lifetime, western civilization made deep, sometimes radical changes in almost every sphere: politics, religion, society, economics, music, fashion, foreign affairs, the arts, and the military. This course will begin with the French Revolution, and examine these changes in detail. We will pay particular attention to: (1) The new concept of being a "citizen" of a nation-state, as opposed to being the "subject" of a monarch; (2) The coming of the first real world wars, as conflict spills out across the globe dominated by Europe; (3) The ways that artists and musicians captured this time of upheaval and change, as inthe works of Goya, David, Beethoven, and Schubert; (4) The literature and mythology that grew up ground the person of Napoleon Bonaparte, which gave us the Romantic Era in literature and the arts. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College History Department Course Attributes: MJ-INTL-Area Studies-Europe
