A history of France between 1642 and 1815 - from Louis XIV through the French Revolution and Napoleon. The themes we will analyze resonate well beyond French history: the rise of the state and the formation of social classes, Enlightenment thought and the diffusion of new ideas, early globalization and the culture of consumption, the first popular democratic revolution - its shining accomplishments and its descent into Terror and eventually dictatorship. We will read texts from the period ranging from novels to memoirs of Versailles courtiers or diaries of obscure people, and from political treatises and constitutions to newspapers and pamphlets. To get a fuller picture, we will also use music, songs, paintings, prints, and cartoons, as well as films, along with the work of historians whose interpretations of this tumultuous, fascinating era have shaped our conceptions of modernity.

If we are what we eat, as the saying goes, then who are we? Why do we eat the things we do? And why do we consume food and beverages the way we do? This seminar will explore the very rich history of food and drink in the modern Western world, from the renaissance to the present day. Focusing particularly on the great silent revolution that transformed diet and eating habits of Europeans from the 16th-18th century, we will study the evolution of specific foods and beverages of particular historical significance, such as bread, sugar, and coffee, and we will examine how food and drinks have been consumed over time, not only in the home but also in public places, from the traditional banquet and the tavern to the modern commercial space of the cafe and restaurant. Fulfills the Interdisciplinary Capstone requirement.
