Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Course also

early nineteenth centuries, America,
France, Greece all experienced political
revolutions that marked a fundamental
breakwith the recent past. Individuals
such as Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon
Bonaparte were directly involved in those
revolutions, but at the same time they
were actively and deeply engaged with the
distant past. Earlier excavations at
Pompaii adn Herculaneum had revealed how
much of the past the earth mightstill
hold; those excavations also represented
the birth of scientific archaelogy and
they even contributed to the development
of Charles Lyell's geological theories. In
America, Thomas Jefferson himself
excavated a prehistoric burial mound,
while Charles Willson Peale recovered the
skeleton of a mastadon thathe displayed in
the New World's first museum. Napoleon's
invasion of Egypt led to the discovery and
decipherment of the Rosetta Stone and
sparked the first wave of Egyptomania that
was to sweep over the western world.
Traditional education in the classical and
Romantic poetry together inspired young
men from both England and America to
measure, accuragely record, and to restore
ancient architecture, to search for (and
appropriate) classical Greek statues, and
to fight in the Greek War for
Independence. In this seminar, we will
explore the exploration of the past that
took place during an age of revolution,
romanticism, and interdisciplinary; our
goal will be to learn about pioneers in
rediscovery who lived an age that saw
great progress both in the humanities and
in the sciences.
