History 495: The Hundred Years War
This was one of my favorite History classes at Longwood, because it was taught by Dr. Isaac, who is one of my favorite professors. This class was also very nuanced, which allowed us to have deep discussions that went beyond what general History books teach us.
This class was open to anyone, and was not specifically honors. In order to make it so, I presented my final research paper at the annual Medieval Conference hosted by Longwood. This was one of the most fantastic opportunities I have had at Longwood, because I had my work analyzed by multiple professors and then presented it to a group of likeminded scholars and was questioned about it. I had a good time writing and presenting it, and I am grateful for the many opportunities Longwood and the Honors College have provided.
For those who don’t necessarily want to read a 15 page paper about the city of London during the Hundred Years War and how we can view it as a “home-front,” (although…who wouldn’t??) I discussed the role of guilds, knights, women, the military industry, and noncombatants in order to make the claim that London did, indeed, function as a home-front for the war.
