中世纪的英国

Medieval England听起来像一个传奇的时间:骑士,城堡和骑士。本课程将超越神话,以研究中世纪政治,社会和文化的复杂世界。课程主题将包括宗教和奉献;家庭生活;死亡,疾病和流行病(包括黑死);热门政治和叛乱(包括农民叛乱);封建主义和封建文化;Magna Carta和议会与法国冲突的创造;十字军制度;玫瑰的战争; and the crisis of monarchy. In sum, we will focus on medieval British history from Alfred the Great to the dawn of the Tudors (c. 850-c.1485). We will talk about Chaucer and Richard III and Eleanor of Aquitaine—but we will also discuss everyday life in medieval England. At its core, this course will investigate a period of history that is central to enduring institutions and long-lasting myths alike.
