HIST 635 European Culture and Society, 1450-1800
This course will survey a range of themes and topics relating to the cultural evolution of Europe in the early modern period. The approach of the course is to look at the experiences, customs, and beliefs of Europeans of all classes and to place them within the context of the cultural development of society. This course will examine a series of "cultures," including print culture, learned culture, popular culture, religious culture, political culture, and consumer culture and the rise of the market culture.
