To anyone considering taking the course, you might want to know that the first five sections discuss definitions of when the period starts and ends, what are the boundaries of Europe for the purposes of the course, and how different historians have different interests and interpretations. The real meat of the course is contained in Section 6!
It covers 5 themes, all very interesting, but I missed the inclusion of developments in politics and how literature (Shakespeare etc) contributed to the spread of ideas and knowledge.
Having said that, I would definitely recommend it.
