Thank you so much to Dave Gallo for sharing the syllabus of his course « Royalties and Revolutions: From the Pre-Modern to the Modern World”. Professor Gallo describes his course as: “an examination of this transition period through the lens of the French monarchy – from the dawn of Louis XIV to the beginnings of the French Revolution – where in so many ways the world we still live in was born”.
This course is designed as an introduction for first- and second-year students to the study of History generally, and in particular to the study of France and the French monarchy in the 17th/18th centuries. Professor Gallo has taught this course for the last three years and has received very good evaluations and positive feedbacks from his students.
Professor Gallo is sharing on the se-17 website:
- The course’s syllabus (which conforms to the MSCHE guidelines)
- Three units that contain the assigned readings and guided questions for students in pdf format
