This study group will examine the lives and times of 12 influential Europeans who lived from 1715 to 1914. In Part I, notable people such as Frederick the Great, Samuel Johnson and Napoleon will be studied. Who were these people who stood out as noted leaders, writers, scientists and artists? How and why did their lives shape ours and reflect their own times? Professor Jonathan Steinberg’s Teaching Company course, European History and European Lives: 1715 to 1914, will provide the primary content.

This study group for adults 50+ meets on Mondays, September 21 - November 2 except for October 19.

Instructor Richard Galant will supplement his lectures with group discussion and related insights.
