16.7 2nd and 3rd years Dr B Collett. Normally, 25 points of first-year History. Second semester Two 1-hour lectures and one 1-hour tutorial per week On completion of this subject students should be able to: locate, access, analyse and record historical data of English society following civil war, and its developments in government, church and universities; to grasp the main contemporary components of economics, politics, ideologies, intellectual ideas, and the interplay between them; to be familiar with this period (1485-1560) with the principal examples of social stability, developments, conflicts and changes across those components; to base research on a firm grasp of the historical events, concepts of 'stability' 'tension' etc. and modern theoretical approaches; to possess the techniques of scholarly analysis and assessment of situations, events, and change. The overall theme is the connection between government, the church and learning, and European links. For the past ten years these historical themes have been vigorously re-appraised. We begin with the end of civil war in 1485 and the reconstruction of government and civil service under Henry VII and Henry VIII, especially education and the 'Tudor revolution' in government. Woven into this study are church politics, theological doctrines, popular piety, religious disaffection and dissent, the condition of monasteries and nunneries and Protestant ideas in England. University learning and student life provides the third strand to this subject, including the influence of the humanities on government and reforms in government, church and society. There is an emphasis on research and the use of primary sources. Written work of no more than 5,000 words. A. G. R. Smith, The Emergence of a Nation State.
