Subject Description | This is a period of highly significant historical transformation in European history, and rich in the complexities of connections between government, religion and learning, and British links with continental Europe. 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 of government 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. |
Assessment | Written work totalling 4000 words. |
