Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: The period following the trauma of the Napoleonic Wars continued to be marked by revolutionary turmoil as a motor of political and social change (1820-23, 1825, 1830-31, 1848), with major repercussions in Europe’s economic, cultural and intellectual development. These events echoed the experiences of 1776 and 1789 as the beginning of a major shift in the experience of historical time, demonstrating the extent to which European events were embedded within wider global and transnational contexts. Offering a general survey of nineteenth-century European history, the course will question conventional accounts that see the emergence of nation states in nineteenth-century Europe as the sole path to political modernity. In addition to offering an overview of major political events, the course covers social and economic change, political ideas, intellectual developments, art and music.
