The course will consider the creation of a distinctive European civilization from the economic, political, and cultural revolution of the late tenth and eleventh centuries to the beginning of the extension of European power into the non-European world around the turn of the sixteenth century. the course will consider change and continuity on both large and small scales, emphasizing such themes as power and order, the complexities of a pre-industrial economy, the formation of ethnic identities, and the worlds of formal thought and learning as well as those of the imagination and the arts. The course will also consider relations between Europe and the Islamic and Byzantine worlds as well as the role of northern and eastern Europe. A substantial part of the required reading will be original source materials in translation.
