The “Enlightenment” and the “Age of Revolutions” (c1760-c1820) were pivotal in the making of the modern world. Like contemporaries, scholars have long reflected on the intellectual and cultural similarities and differences between revolutions in France and the Americas and upheavals in Britain, Ireland, Russia and elsewhere. The concepts of the “Enlightenment” and “Age of Revolutions” have been contested and revivified by recent studies of the republic of letters, of women’s cultures and, above all, of slavery and revolt from our own perspective of the globalizing world of the twenty-first century. This elective has been designed to extend your understanding of the fertile scholarship in this major field of study.
Intended learning outcomes
- An enhanced knowledge of major approaches to understanding the "Enlightenment" and the "Age of Revolutions" (c1760-c1820);
- An enhanced capacity to synthesize and critically reflect upon these approaches
- An ability to reflect upon their own research work in relation to the content of the module.
