The course introduces students to the history of Tudor and Stuart England. A main element is politics and personage, yet just as important will be ordinary peoples' daily lives and relationships; their beliefs, values, and customs; fundamental concepts and methods used in the study of the same. Where possible, comparative consideration will be given to the British Isles and England's place therein. While no prior knowledge is expected, the course should be of particular interest to those who have studied early modern European and American history (e.g. HIST1205/6) or are undertaking courses which consider 16th-18th-century literature, art, or philosophy.
