Description:
| Treat yourself to a memorable one- or two-week study vacation at prestigious Christ Church College, Oxford. Take courses on medieval or Tudor England, or both, in a program specially created for NYU by Oxford University and taught by a distinguished Oxford tutor, with several in-depth field trips and lectures organized by your faculty tour escort, Lorella Brockesby.
Medieval England (July 28-Aug. 3) concentrates on one of the most colorful periods in medieval history when chivalry and literature flourished. The course examines the relationships between king, nobility, and clergy; English victories in France; and the impact of the Black Death on society.
Tudor England (Aug. 4-10) focuses on the powerful Tudor monarchs who shaped the modern state and, in particular, the roles of Henry VIII and his daughter, Elizabeth, whose 44-year reign evoked passion and romance.
This program is only available on a noncredit basis. It is the perfect opportunity to learn about England's fascinating cultural, political, and social history.
