Back to AR-HIST-HIST: School of History
What does American history look like from 'across the pond'? How can we reevaluate key events ¿ the American Revolution, the struggle over slavery, the emergence of the US as a global superpower, the Civil Rights and `black power¿ movements ¿ by seeing them through the eyes of history-making Americans who lived, studied, worked, and partied in London? This module introduces students to a magnificent kaleidoscope of Americans in London, including revolutionaries (Benjamin Franklin, Abigail Adams), radical abolitionists (Frederick Douglass, Sarah Parker Remond, Elizabeth Cady Stanton), businessmen (George Peabody, J.P. Morgan), and artists (Ira Aldridge, Henry James, Paul Robeson). They will learn to work with a variety of original sources ¿ textual, visual, and material ¿ and make routine use of our London setting to visit museums and historical sites - `the rooms where it happened'!
