Module I-VI, KA, course 9:
Carsten Jahnke og Angela Ling Huan: The Port of London - European Economy in the Late Middle Ages
The course will deal with trade, goods and people reaching the port of London as England’s most important outer harbor in the Late Middle Ages. Based on one source edition, the European trade and the trading routes to the harbor of London in 1480/81 will be examined in detail. Moreover, political and social developments are vital for a comprehensive analysis of economic source material. Thus, the analysis will be embedded into England’s political and social development in the 15th century.
Against this background, the following subtopics will be addressed: Source studies will form a methodological basis, as looking at the distinctive features of customs accounts and the information they can and cannot provide; we will look at the general patterns of trade (periodicity, trading routs and its structure), politics, goods, commercial techniques and transportation will be examined as well as the merchants engaged in the trade and their associations, such as the most prominent Hanseatic League.
Students are encouraged to bring own ideas and topics; other perspectives on the topic such as archeological evidence, are also welcome.
The seminar will combine the reading and analysis of the source material with short student papers and lectures and discussions. Due to a research trip abroad, the seminar will start in week 38. To cover the missing lessons, there will be an additional one-day session on November 5th in which paper topics shall be discussed intensely.
Course objectives (besides objectives mentioned in the Curriculum):
After the course the student will be able to:
• apply a basic knowledge of European Economy at the End of the Middle Ages
• put this knowledge into the context of European politics and social developments at this time
• read and interpret historical (economic) sources
• critically analyse historiographical interpretations in the light of the original sources
• interpret the results in the light of European history in general and set their knowledge on economic development in other contexts |
