Long Age of Revolutions

Catalog description

This course explores the 'Age of Revolutions' over a longer chronological scope than the traditional scholarship provides. While historians normally start the Age of Revolution with the American Revolution and end with the independence of Spanish America, this course takes a longue duree approach to the subject of 'revolutions.' The course explores the ideological evolution of revolutionary language and the origins of revolutions from the Early Modern to the Modern Period.
