Sweeping changes impacted all of Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries; in fact, these two hundred years serve as the bridge between the Medieval Period and the “Modern Era”.

Ironically, these fundamental changes (in how people met their survival needs) most benefitted the already secure middle class and…

In The Voices of Morebath: Reformation & Rebellion in an English Village, Eamon Duffy describes a parish church’s resistance to the increasing demands of Tudor England, both religious and economic. The “alien regime” of London, as Duffy calls them, sought to curb the traditional Catholic practices of Morebath and replace them with state regulated Protestantism. However, the villagers of Morebath resisted, in what little ways they could, as did other small, West England parishes. Ultimately,…

How is love like a story? Love is like a story because of one’s expectations in a relationship, and the things that happen in their life to form this story. Love follows a literary progression.

The Thirty Years’ War of the Holy Roman Empire originated as a religious feud between Prosthetics and Catholics that later advanced into a political conflict across Europe. Over the course of thirty years, Europe had exhausted itself at war and was faced with devastating losses, both religiously as the divide could not be solved by war, as well as political turmoil.

Medieval scholars tended to work deductively. They would start from a little number of premises and continue by consistent conclusions from the premises, the way that you build a proof in geometry or variable based math. They were splendidly judicious and impeccably willing to question and test old thoughts, however they mentioned negligible utilization of objective fact in many fields. The Renaissance involved a different attitude about the world, one which focussed upon the human being…
