The Worlds of Early Modern Europe - MHIX121
Delve into the fascinating realm of the early modern world, focusing particularly on the history of everyday life in Europe and its burgeoning colonies. The centuries between 1400 and 1800 witnessed a period of change and dramatic contrasts as the medieval inheritance derived from Classical Antiquity, Islam and the Judeo-Christian tradition confronted successive challenges, while still exerting a deep influence on European culture and society. In The Worlds of Early Modern Europe, you will analyse the contradictory impulses that shaped Europe and its engagement with the wider world between 1400 and 1800. The unit proceeds thematically, considering belief systems, family relations, social and cultural practices, values and encounters with Asia, Africa and the New World of America.
