You do need to have at least a grade B at A-‐level in History to take these courses.

HST115 The Disenchantment of the European World 20 Credits AUTUMN Places will be limited Prerequisite qualification: Normally a grade B in A level History or an equivalent qualification in History. Description: The decline of magic, and some sorts of religion, lies at the heart of this course which traces the emergence of human societies that sought to operate according to rules supposed to be scientific. European cultural experience in the critical juncture between the Reformation and the Enlightenment was by no means the simple rejection of one world-‐view and its replacement with another. Through the rich, surviving evidence of court records and printing-‐presses we examine people's changing assumptions about how they should be governed and how they fitted into the world around them.

HST114 Pagans, Christians and Heretics in Medieval Europe 20 Credits SPRING Prerequisite qualification: Normally a grade B in A level History or an equivalent qualification in History. Description: One of the recurring themes of European history in the period 300-‐1000 is the conversion of societies from paganism, a term which covers a whole range of beliefs from the elaborate cults of the Roman Empire to the sacred trees of the German forests, to Christianity, with its exclusive belief in one God and no other. The aim of this course is to examine comparatively how and why this fundamental transformation came about, looking at the men (and women) whose missionary activity brought conversion and at their various approaches, from persuasion to direct action. We will also explore the impact which conversion to Christianity had upon societies, and at those who stubbornly persisted in paganism or heresy.
