Program Details

Liberty was so highly regarded in England that The Cult of Liberty was born there in the 1700s. Yet it was France and America that staged revolutions in the name of Liberty, while England remained steadfast in support of its monarchy. Weird, right? This course explores how explosive ideas born in the 18th century (what we call The Enlightenment) led to political revolutions on both sides of the Atlantic. It also explores the ways revolution was avoided in England itself. We’ll begin in Bath, England, famously frozen in time in the ostentatious Georgian era. We’ll then travel to the haunting sites where revolutionary ideas were first written in northern France, and the dramatic sites where the ideas became war in Paris, Boston, Lexington, and Concord.
