HIST 337 - The British Isles,1485-1714

Institution:

SUNY College at Geneseo

Subject:

Description:

The reign of the Tudor and Stuart monarchs saw sustained and deep-reaching changes in the four nations of the British Isles (Eng- land, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales). Over just two centuries, this region witnessed divisive processes of religious transformation associated with the Protestant Reformation; the absorption of the peoples of the "Celtic fringe" into a centralized and bureaucratized nation state based in London; two separate political revolutions and series of bitterly fought rebellions in Scotland and Ireland; the transformation of the British Isles from a relatively weak and marginal region into a global economic and military power; and particularly vibrant British contributions to literature and the arts, philosophy, and the sciences. Using primary and secondary source readings, this course will explore these transformations and will assess the impact of these changes on the societies and cultures of the four nations.
