Reform & Modernization in Britain (18th & 19th centuries)

During the second year of the Licence, we look back to the long eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This long timeframe is examined as a time of origins and transitions, of contradictions and conflict during which Britain dealt with reform and modernization, and British society created itself anew. The chronological span will be from c. 1688 to 1918, but this may vary according to the topic and the precise focus of the lecturers.

Compétences à acquérir

The objectives of the course are :
- to foster an understanding of the United Kingdom in the past, notably in the 18th and 19th centuries.
- to help students become familiar with a political system and a political history which is very different from their own.
- to enhance critical and analytical thinking in relation to historical and political texts.
- More specifically to help students understand a text/document within its historical context.
- To teach students how to choose relevant quotations and analyse them both critically and historically.
- To foster a better understanding of the points of view, goals and strategies used by the author of a historical document.
