Course Description

The School of History has one of the strongest concentrations of early modern historians in the UK outside London and Oxbridge. Staff have published books and articles, and have supervised postdoctoral research, in a wide variety of areas, including: witchcraft and magic; popular culture and religion; the Protestant Reformation; the English revolution and civil wars; crime and the law; ideology and imagery; office-holding and state formation; popular politics and government; women and gender; demography and social change; urbanization and industrialization; migration and colonization, environmental history; riot and rebellion; custom and popular memory; oral culture, print culture, literacy and education; the history of emotions and history of mentalities.

By studying for the MA in Early Modern History, you will be joining an established community of historians, including other postgraduate and post-doctoral researchers. In most years there is a thriving postgraduate seminar at which both MA and PhD students present their work. In addition, postgraduates and teaching staff from the School frequently collaborate in putting on day-schools, workshops and conferences.
