200 level undergraduate course

In one of Great Britain’s unofficial national anthems, ‘Rule Britannia,’ the lyrics proclaim, ‘The nations, not so blest as thee, /Must in their turn to tyrants fall, /While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free, /the dread and envy of them all.’ Whether it was its navy, its political philosophy, or its civil service, for a long period of time the sun never set on the British Empire. Our course, Rule Britannia, examines the progress and decline of imperial Britain from the end of the eighteenth century to the near conclusion of the twentieth century. The ebb and flow of this investigation covers a vast expanse of accounts of conquest, settlement, collaboration, resistance, enrichment, and rejection.
