His 3100 examines early modern England--the age of the Tudors and the Stuarts. Besides the political and religious narrative, we examine sources on specific intellectual, political, social, religious, and economic issues confronting the English (and Scottish and Irish) peoples. It allows you to understand and to use the materials used by historians of early English history.
A History of Britain and the British Empire from 1714 to the Present, His 3110, is usually offered in the Spring (Spring 2009 I will teach at Harlaxton College in UK offering Modern Britain, Irish History, and English Revolutions; see me, if interested in a semester abroad).
