Expanded Course Description
| Enlightenment values of reason, tolerance, and civil debate are in many ways the foundation for modern society and politics, but we should never take them for granted, least of all today. This course introduces students to the Age of Enlightenment in eighteenth-century Europe, running through the French Revolution to the authoritarian rule of Napoleon Bonaparte. We will highlight issues of politics, culture, and thought, with secondary attention to accompanying changes in social and economic life. The focus will be on the core countries of France, Great Britain, and the German-speaking lands, which together drove developments elsewhere on the continent. Primary-source readings include both men’s and women’s voices, drawn mostly but not exclusively from highly literate social strata. We will also read secondary accounts by modern historians, both popular and scholarly. Towards the end of the term, students will conduct a mock trial of King Louis XVI in class. From time to time, I will feature music, art, and architecture--and suggest films--to help the period come alive. While mindful of its present-day resonances, we will strive to understand this epoch on its own terms. |
