HIST150E CM - The Age of Elizabeth I and Shakespeare: Tudor-Stuart Britain, 1485-1640

Explores the triumphant rise of the 16th-century Tudor monarchs and their impact on politics, society, religion, and culture, and the troubled role of the 17th-century Stuart monarchs, the English Civil War, and “Glorious Revolution.” By using several of William Shakespeare’s plays and other cultural sources, the course analyzes how theater, literature, the visual arts, print, and popular culture created mythic national histories and reflected contemporary socio-political concerns. Other topics will include: kingship and state building, the Protestant Reformation, women and family, crime and the poor, early empire building, and slavery.
