Core Course
Early Modern Exchanges: Methods, Histories, Cultures
Course Code: ARTFGEO1
Credits: 30
In addition students take two options in each term or two options over both terms (worth 15 or 30 credits each to a total of 60 credits), as well as doing a 15,000 – 20,000 word dissertation (90 credits).
The
first term is devoted to deepening students' understanding of this
crucial period and enhancing their research skills, developing critical,
conceptual and historiographical awareness, alongside paleography,
bibliography and book history, images, material culture and historical
sources. It is designed to provide training in skills critical for
research, enabling students to work with
manuscripts, early printed books, letters, state papers and so on as
well as introducing research methodologies relevant to the object of
study (text, image, object or historical source).
In
the second term students examine a variety of early modern European
literatures, histories and cultures and think about the range and
diversity of approaches,
methodologies and subjects crucial to an understanding of the early
modern world.
Tutor: The compulsory core course is taught by a variety of tutors and changes from year to year.
Time: Wednesdays, 12am - 2pm.
Room: B30, 25 Gordon Square (except weeks 4 and 5 in term 2)
Assessment: The first term is assessed through an annotated bibliography / literature review defining a subject area that will become the focus of the dissertation. This 4 – 5,000 word piece will be due on the 1st day of the second term.
The second term will be assessed by one 4 – 5,000 word essay due on the 1st day of the third term.
