He briefly sketches out Britain’s history up until the Civil War and then he focuses more closely on the Stuart Kings leading up to a moment that he considers pivotal, that being ‘The Glorious Revolution’ of 1688. It’s a history that looks back on the growth of Liberalism (or Whiggism) as the culmination of all that England could want or hope to be. It has been criticised many times for this narrow focus but frankly this sells Macaulay’s work short.</P><P>He is a great writer who gives out his history as a grand performance. It is Macaulay who popularised history to such an extent that his books became ubiquitous throughout the homes of the literate during the Victorian era. His language is glorious, his rhetoric, awe inspiring, his vision, delightful.</P><P>Explore the 17th century and let Macaulay be your guide. You won’t regret it. Macaulay&#39;s prose is a thing of beauty. It is delightful to read and similarly delightful to listen to.&nbsp; (25 chapters in all; a work in progress)<BR>(Summary by Jim Mowatt)</P>]]></description><category>Favorite History Podcasts</category><author>Marje</author><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:22:40 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:197551</guid></item><item><title>American History before 1870</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/Marje/marks/197566</link><description><![CDATA[American History before 1870: <SPAN>These podcasts coordinate with Hist 1301, offered by Dr. Gretchen Ann Reilly at Temple College, in Temple, TX.

She describes the course this way: <A HREF="http://www.jenniferburns.org/history7b_sp06_syllabus.htm">History 7b</A>, Introduction to the History of the United States, 1865-2005, is the basic introductory class for 20th century American history at UC Berkeley. With an enrollment that usually tops 500 students, it is the history department’s largest class and one of the largest classes at the university. History 7b is a pre-requisite for several different majors, including history, political science, and mass communications. It also fulfills the university’s <A HREF="http://amercult.berkeley.edu/" TARGET="_blank">American Cultures requirement</A>. As such, the course is geared to non-majors and assumes little prior knowledge of American history. For this reason, I keep the lectures basic and also try to cover a little bit of everything over the 40-odd sessions. As I tell my students, view this class as a survey and overview, rather than the last word! My hope is that a topic I cover briefly will capture your interest, inspiring you to more in-depth learning and understanding.]]></description><category>Favorite History Podcasts</category><author>Marje</author><pubDate>Sat, 15 Mar 2008 06:49:10 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:203336</guid></item><item><title>History 167B The Rise and Fall of the Second Reich</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/Marje/marks/203333</link><description><![CDATA[History lectures by the talented professor Margaret Anderson about the history of Germany between the years 1820 and 1919.

The primary goal of the course is to understand the multiple meanings of a transforming event in American history. Those meanings may be defined in many ways: national, sectional, racial, constitutional, individual, social, intellectual, or moral. Four broad themes are closely examined: the crisis of union and disunion in an expanding republic; slavery, race, and emancipation as national problem, personal experience, and social process; the experience of modern, total war for individuals and society; and the political and social challenges of Reconstruction. <A HREF="http://oyc.yale.edu/history/civil-war-and-reconstruction/content/sessions.html">]]></description><category>Favorite History Podcasts</category><author>Marje</author><pubDate>Sat, 23 May 2009 09:20:15 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:315886</guid></item><item><title>Logging On to the Ivy League - TIME</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/Marje/marks/315887</link><description><![CDATA[many major universities are now recording courses and making them freely available online...
