You must answer the questions comprehensively but succinctly; that is, you must cover the important points but not waste space on irrelevancies, repetitions, or waffle. You must show that you have done and understood the reading, and listened to and understood the class material. You must take care with your writing and your presentation; I expect precise and correct English, references to sources in appropriate academic format, careful proofreading and presentation.
Here are the questions:
1. In what ways did London become the first modern city between 1550 and 1750?
2. How did London's physical fabric and geographical layout change between 1500-1750?
3. How did the traumatic political events of 1640-1710 - the Civil wars, the Restoration, the Glorious Revolution - affect London's cultural and commercial life in the long term? [Please don't tell me what happened; describe the impact of those events.]
How did the "creative industries" develop in London between 1550 and 1750? How do these developments reflect and illustrate changes in London's culture and economy?
