L1S2 Bloc 3 CM Civilisation britannique

ECUE 1 : Panorama de la littérature et de la civilisation anglo-américaines

Les CM en civilisation britannique "Britain since the Romans" ont lieu en amphi gris à 12h le jeudi. Il y aura 6 séance d'une heure, en anglais.

Ces CM (contrairement aux CM de civilisation américaine) ne commenceront qu'en semaine 2, le jeudi 4 février.

Il faudrait que les étudiants lisent le chapitre sur l'Angleterre romaine ou bien du livre de Kenneth Morgan (en anglais) ou bien du livre de Roland Marx (en français). Ces livres se trouvent à la bibliothèque.

Le programme du CM est ici :

Civilisation CM L1S2 Curriculum

Great Britain since the Romans – an overview

1 Roman Britain

2 Invasions

3 The Middle Ages

4 The protestant Reformation and the Civil War

5 Industrial revolution and Empire

6 “The age of extremes”: The great changes of the twentieth century


A six-lecture course is not very much to cover such a long historical period. I recommend you read in parallel history books : in English if you can (Kenneth Morgan’s book in the University Library would be useful); in French if necessary (there are several copies of Roland Marx’s books in the University Library).

Either before or after these six lectures, you will be following another course of six lectures on US history.

You will be looking at the second part of the British civilization curriculum in more detail in your TD classes “From the Reformation to the Great Exhibition” (or you have already done so in the first semester).

The mark for this course will be based on a single final exam at the end of the semester.

In addition to your reading of history books, you should visit my teaching blog regularly. I often put on this blog useful links to help you with your studies. If you search the archives of the blog you will find there are already many useful articles, videos etc. It is also on the blog that you will find any administrative information at the appropriate time (your marks, information about absences if I should be ill, and so on).
