| HIST 352 - AGE OF NAPOLEON |
|
In the space of a single lifetime, western civilization made deep, sometimes radical changes in almost every sphere: politics, religion, society, economics, music, fashion, foreign affairs, the arts, and the military. This course will begin with the French Revolution, and examine these changes in detail. We will pay particular attention to: (1) The new concept of being a "citizen" of a nation-state, as opposed to being the "subject" of a monarch; (2) The coming of the first real world wars, as conflict spills out across the globe dominated by Europe; (3) The ways that artists and musicians captured this time of upheaval and change, as in the works of Goya, David, Beethoven, and Schubert; (4) The literature and mythology that grew up ground the person of Napoleon Bonaparte, which gave us the Romantic Era in literature and the arts.
