This colloquium will focus on some classics in Early Modern
historiography, including Hans Baron, Burckhardt, Cassirer,
Christopher Hill, Huizinga, Panofsky, and Weber.  We shall also look
at some more recent, and widely read, texts such as Norman Cohn,
Robert Darnton, Natalie Davis, Carlo Ginzburg, Tony Grafton, and
David Warren Sabean.  Each participant in the colloquium is expected
to complete some nine or ten-page analytical papers on the works
assigned and to present these to the class.  There will be no other
assignments or exams.
