There are two writing assignments due in this course:
The first is a book review of one of the books on the syllabus, with a minimum length of 1500 words. This is due in the middle of the term.
The second is a historiographical essay of 7500 words, and this is due in the final week of class. This essay involves reading a series of contrasting works on the same topic, evaluating the contributions and limitations of each, and situating them within wider historiographic themes.
