If you give yourself the opportunity to understand
English History from Roman Britain to the European Union you will have given yourself
a basic knowledge of the major events that shaped the history of western civilisation.
This course will prompt you to do much individual
reading. You will learn which events have been most important in the formation
of modern Britain and why they were significant - often far more significant than
was realised by the pundits of the time. Perceptive hindsight is perhaps the most
important tool in the historian's armoury!
Topics covered include:
Early Times
The Middle Ages
The Tudors
The English Revolution
The 18th century
The Victorian Age
The Twentieth Century
The Post War Era
This course consists of nine lessons, each followed by essay
and review questions.
