Course objectives
The course is conceived as several chapters from the history of early modern towns in the lands of the Bohemian Crown and in a broader european context. The main attention is paid to the presentation and analysis of crucial sources for the reconstruction of living in towns. Students acquire a survey of the important themes of urban history; they will work with a broader scale of historical evidence and will be able to interpret such sources according to the modern methodological principles.
