CSCH 3010 BRITAIN PAST AND PRESENT
After a brief examination of the current British governmental and legal system and how it compares to our own, this honors seminar will survey the historical development of British law and government -- from Roman and Anglo-Saxon times, through the Middle Ages, through the revolutionary Tudor and Stuart periods, and through the eighteenth century, Victorian, and modern eras. Emphasis will be placed on political and legal (mainly constitutional) development, but considerable attention will also be given to cultural history, including literature and art.
