History 49DH - Advanced Seminar in History: An Imperial Project?

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This course studies the processes by which England's hegemony over its neighbors to the north and west was established in the early-modern period-a period that saw the incorporation of Wales with England, the conquest of Ireland, and union with Scotland. The class reads Spenser, Milton, Defoe, as well as into the proliferating scholarship of the past 30 years on what has been called "the British problem" to understand the political destruction of Gaeldom; the development of a Protestant ascendancy in Ireland; English and Scottish understandings of Union. Keeping in view the changing English senses of nationhood, it considers the meanings of "empire" in this period.
