Tutor: Maureen Lillie
This is a fascinating century between the huge population loss caused by the Black Death and the discovery of the New World. There were changes to everyday life; the Wars of the Roses changed the ruling dynasty in England and new technology allowed ideas on science and religion to spread. Recent finds are causing a re-examination of the period and our ideas about it. Classes cover a wide range of subjects, both serious and light-hearted. Each class is self-contained, but over the year we will build a broad picture offering insights into life in those times. We will have some discussion at the end of each class.
Venue: 232 Adelaide St
Wednesday 12.45pm - 1.45pm. Classes start 16 July, finish 17 September.
Cost: $45 (prepaid), 9 weeks
About the Tutor:
I am a semi-retired historian and have worked principally for the National Trust and the Queensland Government researching places for the heritage register and examining aspects of social history. Over the last few years I have been following up an early interest in life in the late Middle Ages, because of recent advances in our knowledge including participation in living history.Unfortunately this class is over-subscribed and no new enrolments can be accepted at this time.
