Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
From the world of late-medieval piety to the outbreak of the English Civil War, this research seminar examines the changing nature of religious belief in early modern England with a particular focus on the origins, development and impact of Protestantism.
COURSE DETAILS:
This is a fourth year reading and research seminar in which our weekly meetings will be both the occasion for discussion of assigned readings, analysis of documents and the catalyst for the production of a research paper. Our subject is the changing nature of religious belief in early modern England with a particular focus on the origins, development and impact of Protestantism at the level of the parish. All research papers will be based upon a set of London parish accounts requiring a basic mastery of palaeography. No prior knowledge of palaeography is required in order to succeed in this seminar.
Students interested in the subject of the seminar but lacking one of the specific course prerequisites should email Professor Craig.
Grading
- Informed participation 20%
- Research Paper (5,000 words) 50%

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
