230611 British History (S) (WiSe 2026/2027)
Contents, comment
-
This lecture-type course will give you an overview of British (well, mostly English) history from Stonehenge up to the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
This module is completed by taking part in an oral examination for PM 4/Profil2 Histories, in which you will be examined on History of the English Language plus two more lectures of your choice.

I am not following this textbook in any specific way, and I will not ask questions about its content, unless it came up in class. But if you want a solid, colourful one-volume history of Britain, I recommend this one:
The Penguin Illustrated History of Britain and Ireland from Earliest Times to the Present Day, edited by Barry Cunliffe et al, 2004
