5535R Early Modern German History: 1640-1890 (3) This course traces the emergence specific, centralized nationstates and empires as well as a particular, industrial society in the 250 years since the Thirty-year's War. It introduces students to the national histories of Germany in order to help them think critically about national historiography in general. We will compare the many variations within Central Europe: Prussia/Austria/the Third Germany, city/town/village, state/ society, as well as differences of caste/class/gender/ sexuality/religion. All assigned readings will be in English; a background knowledge of European history is recommended. This course will be followed by History 536: the contents and assignments will be coordinated, but the former course is not a prerequisite for the latter.
