Location of The University of Manchester
This MA offers an advanced introduction to the dynamics of recent research into the history of the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. By exploiting our considerable staff resources in this area, this programme aims to bring together the study of economic, social, religious and political history, and explore them both in national contexts and comparative contexts. The consequences of European expansion overseas can form an important part of this comparison.
The core course unit is 'Issues and Debates in Early Modern History'. It studies recent methodological approaches, pioneered in Europe, England and America, which creatively adapt insights and methods from the social sciences to early modern research. Topics include the inter-relations of history, sociology and religion centring on the influence of the Annales School and subsequent developments; ideas of power, patronage and clientage as the glue of the early modern state; ideas of the Atlantic economy uniting Europe and the Americas; and the significance artifacts and buildings for the historian.
