Course Description: Spring 2008

The Western Tradition - Part II image

The Western Tradition is a two-semester course, built around the classroom lectures of Eugen Weber, internationally renowned author, historian, and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. Professor Weber spins thousands of years into a seamless story, making the abstract more concrete and developing the ability of students to analyze and appreciate history. By weaving together history, art, literature, religion, geography, government and economics, The Western Tradition helps students recognize the pendulum swings of history, identify parallels in the modern world, and gain a sense of their own place in the evolution of human institutions.

Part II commences with the end of the Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, and continues through industrial modernization to the present.

The Western Tradition was produced by WGBH/Boston; from Annenberg/CPB.
