Description:

This course examines two dynamic features of the early-modern English empire. It examines the slow transformation of the Atlantic Archipelago from disparate, multicultural kingdoms and chiefdoms into a connected political entity that became known as the British Isles. Second, it examines the expansion of English overseas trade and the development of England into a dominant maritime power. The general objective of the course is to evaluate how historians have attempted to combine these simultaneous processes of consolidation at home and expansion abroad into a single historical narrative. (Writing-intensive.) Prerequisite, one 200-level history course, or consent of the instructor. Maximum enrollment, 12. Grant.
