Subject:

Description:

This course is a comprehensive examination of European life from the Reformation to the end of the Thirty Years War. It explores a vibrant 150 years fraught with conflict, but also characterized by an ever-present desire for peace. We will begin by considering the roots of European belligerence, which can be situated at the intersection of confessional conflict and nation building. Ranging from Spain to Sweden, our major topics will include cultural responses to war and peace, military history, the history of religion, gender, urban history, conflict with the Ottomans, and differences between Mediterranean and Continental Europe. Students will read mostly primary sources, including works of literature. 1.00 units, Lecture
