| Short Title: | Age Absolute Monarchy |
| Description: | The age of Absolute Monarchy, the first in a four-course sequence dealing with Modern Europe, will study that epoch, which can be identified as a transitional unit between the Reformation and the great revolutionary upheavals of the late eighteenth century. The major theme of the period 1600-1789 is the struggle between the dynastic establishment and those forces which sought to alter and eventually overthrow it. The course will also explore the decline of the Holy Roman Empire, Sweden, Poland, and the Ottoman Empire, and analyze those factors which contributed to the rise of Austria, Prussia, and Russia. Considerable attention will be devoted to the nature of Enlightened Despotism in these states and to the impact which Enlightened thought had on the Old Regime in France. This course, and the others in the sequence, will enable the student to appreciate the panorama of ideas, events, and personalities which contributed a rich intellectual and political heritage to Western civilization. |
