Subject Description | This subject examines government, church and universities in England from 1485-1560. This is a period of significant transformation in European history, rich in the complexities of connections between government, religion and learning. The subject begins with the end of civil war in 1485 and the reconstruction of government and civil service under Henry VII and Henry VIII. Students will examine church politics, theological doctrines, popular piety, religious disaffection and dissent, the condition of monasteries and nunneries and Protestant ideas in England. Students will then explore university learning and student life, including the influence of the humanities on reforms in government, church and society. On completion of the subject students should grasp the main components of the Reformation period in Britain and Europe and understand the complexities of entwined political, religious and social forces. |
