GE 1198-0

Brief

It has been established that the period between the Glorious and Industrial Revolution saw England rising from a small agricultural country to a mighty sea-faring state. Behind this great transformation was an entrepreneurial spirit which carried England through major social and political conflicts. From waging wars to improving general living standards, eighteenth-century English artists and writers were keen to extend their thoughts on issues such as national wealth, freedom of speech and the slave trade. Their works sparked serious debates and a somber self- reflection that eventually led to a collective cultural identity. Paintings, architectures, etchings, and decorative works of art are paired with archival evidences and literary works to showcase the significant changes in 18th-century England. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the highlighted historical events and their significance to today’s world.
