Modern German History and Historiography
Dr. Dennis
Fall 2003
This course will survey the history and historiography of Modern
Germany, with some emphasis on cultural and intellectual approaches.
The
course will be structured as follows. We will survey literature covering
the sweep of modern German History from the late 19th century to the
late 20th century.
The
goal will be to provide a general familiarity with German political
and social history, while considering how cultural and intellectual
historiography has contributed to that field.
Students
will be required to present and discuss materials at each seminare
meeting. Students will be required to write two book reviews (5-7
pp.) and one synthetic review essay (10-15 pp.)
