Average duration 9-12 months

If you give yourself the opportunity to understand English History from Roman Britain to the European Union you will have given yourself a basic knowledge of the major events that shaped the history of western civilisation.

This course will prompt you to do much individual reading. You will learn which events have been most important in the formation of modern Britain and why they were significant - often far more significant than was realised by the pundits of the time. Perceptive hindsight is perhaps the most important tool in the historian's armoury!

Topics covered include:

• Early Times
• The Middle Ages
• The Tudors
• The English Revolution
• The 18th century
• The Victorian Age
• The Twentieth Century
• The Post War Era

This course consists of nine lessons, each followed by essay and review questions.
