Subject:

Description:

Focusing on France's attempts to achieve "liberty,equality, and fraternity," the history of France is explored from the beginning of the 18th century until the present. The investigation covers the various political regimes beginning with Absolutism under Louis XIV, through the series republics, and the two Napoleonic empires. Looming large on the horizon of modern French history, of course, are the many revolutions, which have left indelible stamps on the history of France and are a central focus. The political narrative is supplemented by a social analysis of French society, including the history of the working classes, women, Jews, and immigrants. Given the vibrant cultural history of modern France, an examination is made of the cultural milestones in French history as well as popular culture and national political symbolism. Prerequisite: sophomore/junior/senior status. Offered on demand.
