Module description

This module is designed to engage with some of the most hotly disputed issues in German history. By focusing on three aspects central to our understanding of the development of modern Germany, students will have an opportunity to tackle some of the most sophisticated and influential writings on German history. Through the study of these controversies students will not only gain an insight into three pivotal concepts in German history but will also be exposed to most major strands in German historiography. While the ability to read German would be an advantage, it is by no means a prerequisite for this module.
