HIS 234 - Europe in Renaissance and Reformation, 1350–16504 credits (Spring)

Special attention is given to the interplay of popular and high culture; the effect of commercial capitalism on women and on society as a whole; the emergence of powerful monarchies; and the tensions between reason and folly, and between dreams of a godly society and fears of demonic forces.
Prerequisite: HIS 100 or second-year standing. Option of doing some reading in French, Latin, or German.
