M402 HISTORY AND LITERATURE OF MUSIC: 1750 TO PRESENT

In M402 we will explore the history of art music in Europe and the United States from the mid-eighteenth-century to the present. During the course you will become familiar with pieces from a variety of musical traditions over the past 250 years. We will study the pieces themselves as well as the historical circumstances in which they were created.

HA 265 Research Seminar in 18th Century Art: Comic and Satiric Art in 18th Century Britain. Will look at the development of comic art, particularly the satiric print, as a 'public' art form in Britain from 1700-1815. In the work of Hogarth, Gillray and others, we'll consider the theory and practice of caricature and the vexed relationship between 'high' and 'low' as artistic categories.

Historical Themes: Slave Rebellions in the Caribbean 

The Haitian revolution began in August of 1791 and, unlike the other wars of independence of that period, it was a slave uprising - in this case against their French owners who had created some of the harshest and cruelest slave conditions in the Americas.
