Nineteenth Century Cluster

The advent of the 19th century marks the beginning of the modern age. No field of inquiry was exempt from change: politics, society, religion, philosophy, psychology, science, music and the literary and visual arts. In this cluster, students study the ideas that emerged and evolved in various intellectual disciplines during this dynamic century which even now shape the world we inhabit.
