History
Liberty, Rights and Rebellion: A Century of Revolution: England, France and the United States 1642-1792 [Autumn & Spring]
This course traces the developments, ideas and outcomes of three important revolutions of the modern period. It aims to compare and contrast the influence of each revolution on the development of history. Popular beliefs and notions of the rights of individuals, as well as political constitutions and the theories of Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Jefferson, the Levellers and Tom Paine will be studied. Attention will be paid both to how each revolution influenced and shaped the course of the others, and to the emergence of the modern age. The study trip will combine a visit to the Civil War museum at Abingdon with a civil war walk of Oxford.
Subject areas: History, Political Sciences and Social Sciences
