Depending on areas of interest, the examination will cover the period from the Napoleonic era through 1945 or through 1990. Students should be aware that the two Modern European reading lists are due for significant revision during the 2016-2017 academic year, and should consult closely with the head of the Modern European section for course selection and comps preparation. The list is divided into three sections: survey works: these provide background on individual national histories monographs and important synthetic works subject modules Students primarily interested in late modern are required to read all the works in sections 1 and 2; and to complete the reading for 2 modules in section 3. Most modules will consist of five books, chosen from the list below in consultation with the supervising faculty member. Students primarily interested in early modern are required to read all the works in sections 1 and 2 only.
