Description
The course will concern European history from 1648 to 1945. The assigned readings include both standard historical texts and works of fiction, as well as films. Although the period in question encompasses many monumental events and "great men," attention will also be paid to the development of themes over the long term and the experiences of people and groups often excluded from official histories. Among the principle questions to be addressed are the consolidation of state power, the formation of identities, linguistic and national affiliations, and the effects of economic change.

Reviews and comments:
This is the second professor on this website that seems incapable of fluency without frequent, repetitive and enormously annoying filler. If you can't speak without constantly resorting to "uh,' you cannot lecture. The woman on literature was worse but she preferred "um." How utterly unprofessional. So much for Yale. I'm going back to The Teaching Company.
