HIST 372 - Social History in Early Modern Europe: Wanderers, Warriors, and Witches

The early modern period in European history (1450-1800) offers a rich tapestry of religious, cultural, social, and political change. This course will explore the implications of early modern warfare (the Thirty Years War; the English Civil War), religious change (the Protestant and Catholic Reformations), the rise of new sciences, the participation of Europeans in world civilizations, and the dangers of fear and persecution. Students will read both primary and secondary sources, and will write a significant research paper on a topic of their choice.
