The transformation of a medieval hub into a metropolis of beauty and renown occurred over centuries. Sometimes changes happened in spurts; other times over decades. Sometimes with prudent planning; other times by accident.

The purpose of this course is to give students a background in the history, geography, arts and architecture, economics, and living conditions in Paris until 1789. Then, as mobs attacked people and places, the looks and function of the city changed. The course then focuses on the period from the Terror of 1793 through the changes wrought by various regimes up to the Restoration, in order for writers to portray the city accurately.

This course will spread out over the course of the year. Each month introduces a new book that you may not have heard of but that your heroine might well have read! We’ll be looking at some famed reads and some that are less well-known today in order to explore what women were writing and reading in the Georgian and Regency Periods.

October 15, 2026 – October 30, 2026

The transformation of a medieval hub into a metropolis of beauty and renown occurred over centuries. Sometimes changes happened in spurts; other times over decades. Sometimes with prudent planning; other times by accident.

The purpose of this course is to give students a background in the history, geography, arts and architecture, economics, and living conditions in Paris until 1789. Then, as mobs attacked people and places, the looks and function of the city changed. The course then focuses on the period from the Terror of 1793 through the changes wrought by various regimes up to the Restoration, in order for writers to portray the city accurately.
