The Scottish Reformation : the View From Dundee

Monday afternoons 2 - 4pm for five weeks 21st February - 21st March 2022

This course will examine the history of Dundee during the Scottish Reformation of the sixteenth century, which was a defining period for the town. It was in Dundee that 'Master George' Wishart first preached and where the first mass actions of the Reformation took place, defining events that will be included alongside an examination of how ordinary Dundonians sought to cope with the revolutionary times they lived through.

Tutor : Anthony Cox

Dr Anthony Cox is a freelance lecturer, researcher and tour guide. As a PhD student and History Fellow of Trinity College, at the University of Cambridge, his early research interests lay in modern comparative labour history, which laid the basis for the publication, in 2013, of his 'Empire, Industry and Class: the imperial nexus of jute, 1840-1940'. In more recent years, however, he has widened his teaching and research focus towards investigations of subjects as diverse as the Picts, the early history of Scotland, and the religious roots of local and Scottish radical movements and thinkers.
