HIST 496-3 Directed Honors Reading 

(0-0-0) 

Serves as an introducation to the events

?

An intensive examination of a single great 

problem in historiography. The specific 

problem will vary from year to year and 

depend on the specialization of the instructor 

but will be examined in terms of origin, 

sources and development of interpretation. 

Prerequisite: HIST 495-3 

Rationale: 

History 496 has been changes from directed 

readings given individually to a seminar 

format in order to give greater direction 

and focus to the honours programme. Its sub- 

stance has been chosen to enhance the under- 

standing of historiography, among History 

honours students. 

Whereas no prerequisite was considered 

necessary for a directed readings course 

HIST 495 is now considered the necessary 

intoruduction to the more specific subject 

matter of HIST 496. 

NOTE This course outline is one example 

of the manner in which this course 

will be offered by the Department 

HISTORY 496: Special Topics in History 

The English Civil War Period 

Controversy has surrounded explanations of the Civil War 

and Interregnum in England from the 17th century to the present. 

Moreover, the period has continued to attract many of the most 

gifted historians of the English speaking world. An examination 

of the historiography of the Civil War and its aftermath would 

therefore not only provide students with an understanding of the 

rich variety of historical explanations but would - as a bonus - 

suggest some of the principal developments in the intellectual 

history of the modern world. 

Organization of the course: History 497 will be taught as 

a seminar. Students iTl balance selected readings from sources 

with appropriate secondary authorities. In the 20th century, of 

course, primary and secondary sources merge.
