HIST 367 - Early Modern Britain, 1485-1714

Credits: (3)
This class introduces students to early modern British history, beginning with the wartime accession of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, in 1485 and concluding with the death of Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch, in 1714. It has sometimes been claimed that Britain emerged as the first modern society during this period, and this class is largely oriented towards providing students with historical tools useful for assessing the grounds of this claim, identifying its underlying assumptions, and determining its validity.
