Dealing with historical sources and research literature; application of methods from auxiliary sciences of history; oral and written presentation; critical discussion

France and England have not only for a long time been historical rivals. In the older literature, they were also often reputed to represent different models of order and development from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. In the seminar, we will test the validity of such interpretations in the light of more recent research. At the same time, we will exercise basic historical methods and forms of presentations with reference to selected examples.

Reading and discussion of sources and secondary literature; thematic presentations; group work

Regular and active participation; oral presentation; written final paper

Will be announced at the beginning of the course

BA (603) = positive assessment of the compulsory module 1, C312 and C313 = positive assessment "Introduction to the Study of History"
