12.5 1st year Dr B Collett. 131-112 Politics, Religion and Culture in Tudor England, 1485-1603. Second semester Three hours of lectures and tutorials per week. Students are to be trained to locate, access, analyse and record historical date; to grasp the main components of society in fields of economics, politics, ideologies, intellectual ideas, and the interplay between them; to be familiar with this period of history with the principal examples of stability, developments, conflicts and changes across those components; to be familiar with the historical events and the theoretical concepts of 'stability' 'tension' etc. ; to possess the techniques of scholarly analysis and assessment of situations, events, and changes. A study of the road which the English trod to a 'bloody and unnatural' civil war. As the Scottish Stuart kings encouraged magnificent styles of architecture, literature and art, there was growing tension between the monarch's government, parliament and the legal system, and ultimately the breakdown of government. The culmination of the study is the prolonged and savage civil war in England during the 1640s, amidst a remarkable intellectual ferment and melting-pot of social, religious and political ideas (often more modern than our own 'modern ideas'); contemporaries called it the 'world turned upside down'. The execution of King Charles I in 1649 was followed by the Republic of England, by Cromwell's activities in Ireland and the restoration of the monarchy. Students are encouraged to work from the many printed original sources available to them at this University. Tutorial participation, including an oral class presentation (10%), one short research essay of 15,,00 words (40%), one major research essay of 2,500 words (50%). A. G.
