HIST-326 Rebels, Radicals and Reformers in Pre-Modern Europe
Tackles the problem of religious deviancy and political dissent in Europe between about 800 and 1400 with several key questions in mind: How did people cope with the conflicting demands of authority and social justice in the world, and reconcile flawed earthly institutions with the idea of an eternal heavenly order? How can modern historians recover the intentions and thoughts of people whose ideas were often intentionally scrubbed from the historical record? Readings will consist of primary source material as well as recent scholarly literature on the subject.
