DESCRIPTION
This course is an interdisciplinary survey of the development of Europe from the Late Roman Empire to the end of the Middle Ages. In this course, we will look at the political, religious, economic, and cultural trends that together formed the medieval world, and consideration will be given to how many of these developments subsequently defined Europe to the present day. Lectures will be based mainly on primary source texts in English translation, as well as examples from art, architecture, music and literature. These primary textual and visual sources along with secondary readings from important medievalists will be the basis for short written exercises and class discussions. There will also be an excursion to the National Gallery collection of Medieval Art later in the semester.
