HIST 3223 - Early Modern Europe

3 credits

[Meets the Core Curriculum Writing Practice Requirement] This course focuses on the period of European history from the Reformation to the Enlightenment. The common refrain across European intellectual, political, and even social circles was for reform, but exactly what that meant was up for violent debate. This course will especially focus on the birth of the modern state in the aftermath of Westphalia, and the changing nature of social interaction in the wake of these intellectual and political upheavals.
