The course aims to reconstruct the main issues of the history of Europe in the early modern age from a political, social and cultural point of view. Particular attention will be paid to the possible periodization and to phases of change. Students will be required to read essays and chapters of books on which they will have to report in English during the course, to develop tools for analysis, synthesis and expression skills in English.
