Seminar Description

After three centuries of enmity, Great Britain and the Catholic Church embarked in the mid-1700s on an awkward, halting reconciliation that supported British rule in Canada and Ireland, resisted revolutionary France, shaped the course of Italian politics, responded to industrial unrest, and endured clashes over religious doctrines and cultural issues. Examining the writings of key clergymen and statesmen, this seminar will analyze the relationship of two leading global entities seeking to preserve their world positions.

Four sessions. E - $195, L - $214.5

Joseph S. Harrington holds an MA in European history from the University of Connecticut and has led seminars at the Newberry since 2008.
