The course is a study of European history from 1450 to 1815, with emphasis on the thematic political, cultural, and religious developments of the Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment periods; and the influence on Western Europe of the revolutionary transition from the Ancién Régime to the Napoleonic Regime. Prerequisites are History 2321 and 2322 and junior standing. Learning Agenda: 1. To gain a broad understanding of the characteristics of the various "periods," the prominent individuals and developments within each period; 2. To understand how the "periods" emphasized in the study are interrelated, and how cultural, religious, political, and economic concerns together influenced the decisions and goals of historical figures; 3. To understand the contributions of earlier Europeans to the modern West, and to learn to evaluate the influence of earlier European political, religious and philosophical thought; 4. To engage in primary and secondary source readings, thinking and writing in order to sharpen skills in analytical historical thinking. 5. To situate European history and Western civilization within the greater Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian traditions and to evaluate modern developments and the conflicts inherent to them in light of those traditions. 6. To enhance the habit and discipline of “faithful engagement” in historical studies using whole-life resources and with attention to the best practices in historical scholarship. Course Requirements: Readings. The various text readings described in the course schedule will prepare you for the class discussions and lectures. The schedule is open to adjustments depending on the characteristics and capabilities of the class. I will introduce hard-copy primary source documents during the semester for examination and class discussion. Class Attendance. Absences will detract from your familiarity with the process and content of the class and will adversely influence your performance. Therefore it is in your interest to attend all classes. The classes are discussion-intensive, and class processes will be discussed day-to-day. If you miss, you risk confusion. In any case, the university attendance policy as stated in the Catalog will apply to disqualify students with excessive absences. Examinations. The examinations will probe your knowledge and understanding of the general history and themes on which we have focused in class. There will be three periodic examinations including the final examination. Collaborative Researched Essay – 2,000 – 2,500 words. Follow the directions and guidelines in Blackboard and in class.
