HIST2104 — Medieval Cathedrals
Introduction to the medieval past using Gothic cathedrals as primary sources. Over the course of the semester, students explore a wide variety of clues these spectacular buildings provide to the historical forces shaping Europe during the 12th and 14th centuries. Students consider the influence not only of religious, political, and economic factors but also social, geographical, technical, literary, and artistic currents out of which such structures emerged.
