HIST 3240 - Twentieth Century Britain

This course investigates twentieth-century British history from the decline of Victorian values to the rise of New Labour. The twentieth century was a period of enormous change in Britain as it participated in two world wars, dealt with the economic and social effects of dismantling its empire, and witnessed radical shifts in gender, class and race relations. This course will explore the political, social, and cultural history of this dynamic period through the use of primary source texts and contemporary films.
