Subject:

Description:

An overview of the political, social, cultural and intellectual history of Europe in the 19th century, from the French Revolution to the outbreak of the First World War. This era saw the disintegration of previous ways of understanding the world and the rise of new visions of cultural, social and political organization. Movements including liberalism, nationalism, socialism, feminism and imperialism sought to reshape the European landscape and establish new principles to organize human social life, while economic and scientific transformations altered Europeans' experience and perception of the world. We will consider a variety of texts, including novels, poetry, speeches, manifestos, visual art and music. Also offered through European Studies.
