Political Thought in Renaissance Europe - Part 2: The Northern European Renaissance (HIST0859)

This module explores political thought in northern Europe in the later Renaissance (c. 1500–c. 1670), focusing on the ways in which developments and conflicts in the social, religious, and philosophical environment transformed ideas about politics in this era. It traces the fortunes of the theories associated with humanism, republicanism, utopianism, ‘reason of state’ and absolutism, and focuses particularly on the writings of Thomas More, Jean Bodin, Justus Lipsius, Michel de Montaigne, Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, and Margaret Cavendish. Students are encouraged to texts by these authors closely, to connect the ideas in them to their authors’ political and intellectual contexts, and to relate their understanding to the main interpretations of early modern political thought in modern scholarship.

There are no formal prerequisites for the course, but some familiarity with early modern intellectual history, particularly political thought, is strongly advised.
