The Middle Ages between the Eastern Alps and the Northern Adriatic
Select Papers on Slovene Historiography and Medieval History
BRILL, Leiden (The Netherlands) 2010
Scheda a cura di: Štih P.
Series: East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 450-1450, Vol. 11
The book deals with the Slovene historiography and history of the
Slovene and neighbouring territories in the Middle Ages. It is the first
work of its kind published in English. It thus makes the medieval
history of this part of Europe and some of its fundamental problems
accessible to the widest range of researchers. It contains 18 papers
which comply with modern methodological approaches and current trends in
historiography and it puts the validity and usefulness of these methods
to the test in the case of “Slovene” material and examples. The first
part of the book critically examines Slovene historiography, which
largely viewed the Middle Ages from a national angle. The second part is
dedicated to early medieval history, focussing on issues of Slavic
ethnogeneses, society, and political structures. The third part
addresses chapters from the history of the Church, the nobility, and the
formation of Länder, and also discusses the famous enthronement of the Carinthian dukes.
