The Culture of the European Renaissance, University of Warwick

Overview

Course Overview

Alongside postgraduate students from the History and Art History departments, Renaissance students will spend the first term in Venice studying the city's art, history and culture. Classes are mainly taught at the University's 'Warwick in Venice' base, housed in the Palazzo Pesaro Papafava, which provides an excellent focus for our teaching and research activities in the city. Students will also have the opportunity to spend a further period of up to 3 months in Paris and Venice as part of the Erasmus exchange programme. In addition to classes, Warwick offers seminars on a wide range of topics. The Centre's own seminar series is STVDIO. Other seminars of potential interest include the Early Modern and 18th Century Forum, the Medieval Seminar Series, and other research seminars in individual departments (such as Classics, English, Italian, and History of Art). Students will be able to avail themselves of Warwick's strong print and electronic resources for the study of the period, including ITER, EEBO (Early English Books Online), The Making of the Modern World, and Early European Books. The libraries in Oxford and London are within easy reach. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the Centre's strong connections with other institutions, including the British Library, the Warburg Institute, the Newberry Library in Chicago, and the National Trust.
