Description
Life in both Paris and London showed remarkable change after 1715 as huge population growth reflected new economic, cultural, and political significance. Both cities became centers for learning, invention, and scientific investigation. People also flocked to concerts, plays, and popular performances. These creative elements encouraged social and political debate which encouraged significant changes to life in London and revolution in Paris. Charlie Steen takes you through these developments in this two-session class.
Charlie Steen’s classes place historical events in context with art, architecture, religion, and other cultural aspects of a period.
