Section Info:
Title: British Isle to 1688 Topic: The history of Britain is a history of multiple migrations. What social, economic, military, and cultural forces created the four kingdoms of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales? This introduction to the study of history will examine the formation of Britain and the complicated origins of the institutions, customs, and traditions we call British. Students are encouraged not just to "learn the facts," but also to consider the different types of evidence and methodologies available to historians. Through critical readings and discussions or archeology, art, literature, legal statutes, and treatises we will examine questions of historical method and interpretation. This course will have a midterm, two papers, and a final exam.
