Institution:

Tusculum University

Subject:

Description:

This course will look at the Renaissance and Reformation movements within the broader context of the political and economic developments of Early Modern Europe. The course will focus on the conditions of late medieval Florence that contributed to the artistic and literary developments of the 15th century. The course will trace the diffusion of the Renaissance in the Italian Peninsula and then to Europe north of the Alps. We will explore the uses to which the artistic developments of the Renaissance were put, and the long-term impact of the Renaissance on various European cultures. The course will also trace the development of the religious reform movement known as the Protestant Reformation from its bi-polar centers in Wittenberg and Zurich. It will outline the spread of the movement, conditions that facilitated the introduction of the Reformation across Europe, divisions within the Reformation movement, and the efforts of the Catholic church to respond to the challenge. Learning Outcome: Critical Thinking. Prerequisites: HIST 101 and 102, or RELG 101 and 102, or permission of the instructor.
