Humanities 202: The Modern World moves from the French Revolution to the present day. We observe the power of romanticism in works by Blake, Wordsworth, Dickens, and Beethoven, and watch their hopes for mankind undergo the scrutiny of thinkers and artists like Marx, Darwin, Nietzsche, Freud, Picasso, and T. S. Eliot. Important twentieth-century phenomena like World War I and II and the Holocaust are studied. The semester ends by addressing the concept of the western canon and its relevance to contemporary debates and tensions.
