BRST196/HIST 254J Keith Wrightson

Time and Place in Early Modern England

Yale in London: Spring 2015

This seminar explores perceptions of time and place in England, c. 1500-1800, and their relationship to both personal and social identity. These issues are approached using appropriate theoretical and substantive readings and both visual and textual primary sources. Particular attention will be given to the use of visual images as historical evidence. Specific issues addressed include the development of cartography, chorography and antiquarianism; conventions of time reckoning and the dating of events; perceptions of the life course; the creation of social memory and historical narratives; representations of social place; agrarian change and the transformation of the landscape; the impact of the Reformation on the calendar, the landscape, and senses of the past; representations of previously unknown places and peoples, and ‘iconic’ places and their significance. Primary sources for discussion include maps and prospects; chorographical surveys; illustrated antiquarian writings; almanacs; pictorial representations of notable events; engravings; paintings (portraits; ‘country house portraits’; landscapes; ‘conversation pieces’; History Painting and ‘documentary’ works); memorials; family histories; extracts from court records.

A course packet of secondary readings is available from Tyco, Broadway. The syllabus contains URLs which will guide you to primary sources which can be accessed online from Early English Books Online [EEBO] or other online collections and downloaded. A number of additional primary sources will be posted in the resources section of the Classes*v2 server. A list of suggestions for Student Presentations is appended to this syllabus.

N.B. It is vital that you have Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client on your computer so that you can access Yale Library resources from London.

Assessment will be based on: Short paper (c.5pp.) 20% - due Week 7 Class presentation (15-20 mins) 20% Longer paper (c.10pp.) 50% - due Week 14 Participation 10%
