IRSH 3089 - The Celtic Synthesis

Institution:

Manhattanville College

Subject:

Description:

From the sixth through the ninth centuries, Ireland enlightened Western Europe with its spirit, learning, and artistic innovation. This seminar will explore the foundation of the Early Christian Celtic synthesis, the Hiberno-Saxon connection, and aspects of the medieval world that posed challenges to its existence. Students will explore continuity (i.e. how the roots of the early middle ages can be found in pre-Celtic and Celtic societies) and how cultural artifacts document history. Students will do individual work and collaborate on work in small groups. A seminar report and research paper are required. ( Spring)
