The late 18th and 19th centuries were critical in the shaping of contemporary Britain. The course looks into those transformations that were brought about by the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions, and the political and social upheavals and reforms of the 19th century. The course also tackles the rise and expansion of the British Empire and the ideologies behind what historian John Darwin calls the "British World-System." In that sense, the present course handout aims at providing Second year students of English Language Studies (Licence 2) with the lectures and some suggested documents that cover the Civilization course.
