Very excited about uni

I have barely any time, as my friends are coming to pick me up in a minute or so to go (watch them) snowboarding, but I thought I'd just give you a little taste of what my year is going to be like (more will follow later). These are the subjects for the next 12 weeks of Core History Module:


- Introductory Session: Exploring Uses of the Past (aka, reading old text fragments and discussing its contents, to kind of get in the groove and get to know each other and each other's previous training and knowledge a little bit more)
- The Bishop and the Dragon
- Stories of Kings of Britain
- Telling and Re-creating the past: The first crusade and its many (hi)stories, part one
- Telling and Re-creating the past: The first crusade and its many (hi)stories, part two
- The ambiguity of history: uses of the past in machiavelli's "the prince"
- The print revolution
- From orality to print
- The authority of the past in reformation England, part one: Deploying the past
- The authority of the past in reformation England, part two: re-writing the past
