Die Altmark schlägt die Brücke vom westelbischen Sachsen zum ostelbischen Landesausbaugebiet auf dem Boden slawischer Stämme und Völker, politisch, wirtschaftlich, ethnisch und kulturell. Bis zum Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts ostsächsische Grenzregion des Reiches und des Herzogtums Sachsen, wuchsen die Teilregionen auf dem Boden der sich erst nach und nach formierenden Altmark in den Machtkämpfen des Spätmittelalters zu einem der Hauptkreise der Mark Brandenburg zusammen. Die Altmark bewahrte aber vielerlei historische Wurzeln, bis zur Reformationszeit ihre Zugehörigkeit zu den sächsischen Bistümern Halberstadt und Verden, die enge Verflechtung der acht Immediatstädte mit Hansestädten, soziokulturelle Eigentümlichkeiten u.a.m., und auch in der Frühneuzeit, die den zeitlichen Schwerpunkt des Buches bildet, vielerlei Bezüge zu den politischen Nachbarn, den Fürstentümern Magdeburg und Halberstadt, Braunschweig und Lüneburg mit dem Wendland. Daraus erwächst von selbst der vergleichende Aspekt, wie er auch den ostelbischen Regionen der Mark Brandenburg gilt. Die Vergleiche heben die Merkmale hervor, die die Altmark bis zum Ende des Alten Reiches charakterisieren: eigenständige Gerichtsinstanzen, gute besitz- und personenrechtliche Verhältnisse der bäuerlichen Bevölkerung, eine auf verbriefte Privilegien wie auf angemaßte Observanzen pochende Ritterschaft, starke kommunale Kräfte in Stadt und Land, Bürgerschaften und Landgemeinden, die ihren Anspruch auf Selbst- und Mitbestimmung nicht aufgaben und auch im Zeitalter des Absolutismus um ökonomische, soziale und kulturelle Freiräume kämpften. Das manifestiert sich in vielfältigen, aus archivalischen Quellen ermittelten sozialen wie individuellen Handlungen, Verhaltens-, Lebens- und Denkweisen unterschiedlicher Interessengemeinschaften und gesellschaftlicher Gruppierungen in ihrem Mit- und Gegeneinander. Das Buch wendet sich sowohl an Fachkollegen der Landes-, Agrar- und Stadt-, Siedlungs-, Verfassungs-, Wirtschafts- und Sozial-, Kultur- und Alltagsgeschichte als auch an historisch Interessierte überhaupt, an Regional- und Ortshistoriker. Es bietet vielfältige neue Erkenntnisse und gibt Anstöße zum Weiterforschen.

This volume explores the life, thought and political commitments of the free-thinker John Toland (1670-1722). Studying both his private archive and published works, it illustrates how Toland moved in both subversive and elite political circles in England and abroad ... The book explores the connections between Toland's republican political thought and his irreligious belief about Christian doctrine, the ecclesiastical establishment and divine revelation, arguing that far from being a marginal and insignificant figure, he counted queens, princes and government ministers as his friends and political associates ... Overall, it illustrates how Toland's ideas and influence impacted upon English political life between the 1690's and the 1720's.

This volume offers an expansive survey of the role of single-sheet publishing in the European print industry during the first two centuries after the invention of printing. Drawing on new materials made available during the compilation of the Universal Short Title Catalogue, the twenty contributors explore the extraordinary range of broadsheet publishing and its contribution to government, pedagogy, religious devotion and entertainment culture. Long disregarded as ephemera or cheap print, broadsheets emerge both as a crucial communication medium and an essential underpinning of the economics of the publishing industry.

Cynthia J. Brown explains why the advent of print in the late medieval period brought about changes in relationships among poets, patrons, and printers which led to a new conception of authorship.Examining such paratextual elements of manuscripts as title pages, colophons, and illustrations as well as such literary strategies as experimentation with narrative voice, Brown traces authors' attempts to underscore their narrative presence in their works and to displace patrons from their role as sponsors and protectors of the book. Her accounts of the struggles of poets, including Jean Lemaire, Jean Bouchet, Jean Molinet, and Pierre Gringore, over the design, printing, and sale of their books demonstrate how authors secured the status of literary proprietor during the transition from the culture of script and courtly patronage to that of print capitalism.

"How did the patronage activities of the Vijayanagara Empire (c. 1346-1565) influence Hindu sectarian identities? Contrary to most portraits of the empire as a Hindu bulwark against Islamic incursion from the north or as a religiously ecumenical state, in Polemics and Patronage in the City of Victory, Valerie Stoker argues that the Vijayanagara court was selective in its patronage of religious institutions. But the motivations behind this selectivity were not always religious. To understand the dynamic interaction between religious and royal institutions in this period, she focuses on the career of the Hindu intellectual and monastic leader Vyāsatīrtha. An agent of the state and a powerful religious authority, Vyāsatīrtha played an important role in expanding the empire's economic and social networks. By examining Vyāsatīrtha's polemics against rival sects in the context of his work for the empire, Stoker provides a remarkably nuanced picture of the relationship between religious identity and socio-political reality under Vijayanagara rule"--Provided by publisher.
