    Description
    The course begins with a look at the Western world after the collapse of the Roman Empire and then traces the incursion of the Germanic tribes into various territories, wherein a unique culture was produced by the combination of Roman, Christian, and Germanic elements. Contemporaneous developments in the Byzantine Empire and the rise of Islamic civilizations will also be investigated. Religion, visual culture, philosophy, and literature will be examined within these diverse contexts. Not open to students with credit in GENT 21 . Portions of instruction may be offered online; may also be offered fully online.
