EUST 110: Introduction to European Studies: The Age of Cathedrals

Arising over a period of two medieval centuries, the cathedrals of Europe symbolize at once faith, power, local identity, and technological and artistic achievement. Later generations commemorated them in literature and art, destroyed them in their political and religious zeal, and restored them (and continue to restore them) out of a different sort of political zeal as well as a sense of duty to preserve a national and European cultural inheritance. In this course, we seek to understand the cathedral and its enduring legacy in France from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives and using a variety of media and sources. 6; Humanities; offered Fall 2009 -- W.
