HIS 102 - Early Europe

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

In this course, we will examine the development of civilization in Europe from roughly 500 BCE to 1600 CE, including the Hellenic World of Greece, Republican then Imperial Rome, the "barbarian" influx, medieval culture, and the eventual rise of more recognizable nation states in early modern times. Although touching on several key events ranging from economic changes to scientific discoveries, we will concentrate on the potent connections among politics, religion, and the arts. As much as possible, primary sources from the time periods under consideration will be used, supplemented by the work of later historians. Screenings of a film or two—along with discussion of the filmmaker’s approach—will be part of the curriculum as well as a visit to area exhibits/museums. Two papers plus a collaborative student presentation.
