關於課程

本課程提供從三十年戰爭到第二次世界大戰結束的歐洲近代史的廣泛調查。考慮到一些重大事件和人物如法國大革命和拿破崙，把注意力放在了一般人在這個動亂和過渡時期的經歷上。因此審視這段期間的歷史我們應該通過人口變化、 政治革命和文化發展的複雜關係這一鏡頭來觀察，而不是單純的將它視為歷史的必然性，或者是偉大人物的安排，課本中還將穿插一些對藝術作品、 文學和電影的值得效仿的研究的學習。

About the Course

This course offers a broad survey of modern European history, from the end of the Thirty Years' War to the aftermath of World War II. Along with the consideration of major events and figures such as the French Revolution and Napoleon, attention will be paid to the experience of ordinary people in times of upheaval and transition. The period will thus be viewed neither in terms of historical inevitability nor as a procession of great men, but rather through the lens of the complex interrelations between demographic change, political revolution, and cultural development. Textbook accounts will be accompanied by the study of exemplary works of art, literature, and cinema.

Course Structure:
This Yale College course, taught on campus twice per week for 50 minutes, was recorded for Open Yale Courses in Fall 2008.
