Middle Ages-Early Modern Era Cultural History

3 Hours

Explore German-language cultures between the Middle Ages and Early Modern Europe (ca. 1200 to 1750), from medieval kings through religious reforms, globalizing wars, and the rising middle class. Examine how texts reflect changing social, political, and religious values, tying stories and essays to important moments in emerging German-language cultures. German 340C and 342K may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
