The course will introduce students to the history of the West from the seventeenth century to the Second World War. Important trends and events will be surveyed through lectures, required readings, and tutorial discussion.
Tutorials begin in week one and attendance is required.
Attendance at lectures is highly recommended. Lectures begin on the first day. The readings include a text and a book of source readings. The exam questions are essay in format and will be based on materials from the readings and the lectures. Mark Kishlansky et al.
