COURSE OVERVIEW
HISTORY 11 – HUMANITIES High Middle Ages and Renaissance History
COURSE DESCRIPTION Directly setting the stage for our own day, this course explores the complex and often misunderstood world of the High Middle Ages and the Renaissance. We witness in this period the fracturing and ultimate dividing of a unified Christendom leading to what would eventually become a dramatic division along religious and political lines. This is the world in which we witness the rise of influential figures such as Genghis Khan, Louis XIV, St. Dominic and St. Francis, and Martin Luther. Students in this course will find that many of the conventional historical ideas and concepts in the wider culture can often obscure as much as they reveal. They will find that only when we put aside societal biases and misconceptions can we gain a more accurate and truer view of history and, indeed, of our very selves.
WHY WE TEACH IT The High Middle Ages and Renaissance period continue the transformation and development of Western culture and help us to understand our own world today. In this age we encounter the foundations of the modern nation-state and the political structures that we take for granted. We also encounter many new religious movements and ideas that also profoundly impact us. Whether exploring religion, politics, art, or architecture the world of the High Middle Ages and the Renaissance culture is a fascinating and relevant world for 21st century America.
KEY THEMES ● The growth from tribal identities after the fall of Rome into the nation-state. ● The economic toll of war upon a nation. ● The Christian unity of Europe and the dissolution of this unity after the Eastern Schism and the Protestant Revolt. ● The attempts of non-Catholic historians to smear the name of the Church (e.g. Inquisition, Galileo, etc.).
