Rise of Nation State England
This course traces the development of England and the
political, economic, social and cultural factors that contributed
to its development as a nation-state. The focus is on English history
and English institutions, such as Parliament and constitutional government,
which have had an impact on American history.
Students will analyze historical documents;
evaluate various interpretations of the same event, including some
depictions in film; research and write a paper; read, review, and
write a critical review on a historical text of the student's choice.
