Course Description
This course explores European politics through a comparative perspective. It addresses the strategic developments of the last decade and beyond, starting with the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, and the new security frameworks emerging today. The course also focuses on European nationalism, examining this issue in the context of Spain and the collapse of Yugoslavia. This is followed by analysis of the wider significance of German re-unification. Students use a regional framework of analysis to examine the Nordic democracies, the Mediterranean states, the newly established and struggling democracies of central Europe, and the smaller European democracies such as the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, and Austria. Additionally, the class examines European electoral behavior, Europe's various distinctive styles of governance, and the rise of political extremist movements across Europe in the last few years.

Course Description

The Hundred Years War was in reality a series of wars, on both land and sea, arising primarily from the political and dynastic conflicts of the kings of England and France. It was fought mainly in France but also engulfed Brittany, Scotland, the Iberian kingdoms, the Netherlands, and other countries. The first part of the wars is retailed in considerable detail by the contemporary chronicler, Jean Froissart, whose powerful portrait of warfare and political rivalry is set against a backdrop of chivalric endeavor and glory. The module takes its lead from Froissart’s vivid chronicles. Tutorials are focused exclusively on various aspects of his chronicles and students are expected to write an essay on Froissart’s work. Lectures concentrate on key themes associated with Froissart’s world, such as kingship, chivalry and warfare, diplomacy, and popular revolt.

Course Description

In this course, students explore a broad range of texts in the Irish literary tradition. It encompasses material from the 18th century (Jonathan Swift) to the present (Emma Donoghue and Kevin Barry), and, in the process, engages with some of the most innovative and exciting literature to be produced over the last 300 years. The course is generically diverse, and includes work by a variety of poets, novelists, playwrights, and short-story writers. It is not organized chronologically, rather, material is clustered around a number of concepts or ideas (satire, history, violence, and place), with several lectures given over to a discussion of each of these issues.
