Warfare, Witches, and Life in Early Modern Europe, 1550-1700

Early modern Europe served as a kind of precedent for modern life, through developments such as the nationstate, free-trade economies, competitive empire-building, and science and industry. The course explores traditional topics such as the Reformation, the Thirty Years War, absolutism and constitutionalism, and the Scientific Revolution, as well as more recent histories of women, popular culture, sexuality, peasant life, and magic.
