Raised and educated in Europe, Ed completed his degree in comparative literature at UC-Berkeley. Ed speaks several languages and has traveled extensively throughout Europe. At Stanford, Ed has taught in the Western Culture Program and in the literature and arts track of the English department. He also developed the successful Crossroads series for Continuing Studies.

He is currently offering a series of classes on the Renaissance and its impact on European global expansion from the 15th through 18th centuries. “Ed is indeed one of our favorites! His subject matter is pertinent in every way to the itinerary and he is able to readjust his lectures to be relevant to particular places or events.” —Lynn Lowenson Marks, ’57, Normandy and Brittany Walk, 2010 A Program of the Stanford Alumni Association ITINERARY Tuesday & Wednesday, September 9 & 10 U.S. / PARIS, FRANCE / VÉZELAY Depart the U.S. on overnight international flights, arriving in Paris on Wednesday.

  • France Few Regions Can Claim the Fame and Admiration That Burgundy BURGUNDY Has Enjoyed Since the Second Century
    France Few regions can claim the fame and admiration that Burgundy BURGUNDY has enjoyed since the second century. Comprised of the Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, Burgundy occupies a long and narrow stretch of vineyards in eastern France. The critical effect of terroir in Burgundy is expressed in its complex classification system. • Vineyards are divided into separate appellations along terroir France boundaries; the full range of classification levels from broadest to the most distinguished follows: District (e.g. Beaujolais or Chablis), Village (e.g. Pommard), Premier Cru (e.g. Pommard les Rugiens) and Grands Cru (e.g. Clos Vougeot). • As a result of Burgundy’s rules of inheritance, vineyard ownership is quite fragmented, with multiple owners for most crus. The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, for example, is split between 80 different owners. • Though soils vary, clay and limestone predominate in the Côte d’Or and granite is common in Beaujolais.

Email: [email protected] The emergence of a regional, aristocratic polity was a shift from the Carolingian past, and historians have proffered Funding information Leverhulme Trust, Grant/Award Number: several explanations for it. This article examines several ECF-2017-693 models for the development of principalities: as the expres- sions, however compromised, of ethnic separatism; as the evolved forms of ninth-century administrative structures; and as aristocratic power constellations no different from any other. It traces the history of Aquitaine from the first duke, William the Pious, in the early tenth century, to the Poitevin dukes of the mid-eleventh century. The post- Carolingian duchy of Aquitaine, it is argued, is best under- stood not as an ethnic or an institutional formative, but as the distinctive expression of a changing regional political culture. 1 | INTRODUCTION The emergence of discrete, regional, non-royal political units (known, by an historian's term of art, as ‘principalities’) in what is now France over the course of the late ninth through early eleventh centuries is an historical puzzle. Prob- ably the most profound is how we are to characterise these polities: a break, an evolution or just the nobility's power essentially unchanged but dressed up in flashy new titles? Historians have up to the present struggled to characterise the emergence, out of a Carolingian world where aristocratic polities were conspicuous by their absence of regional political units such as Normandy, Burgundy and, of course, Aquitaine.
