"Confessional Diplomacy in Early Modern Europe examines the role of religion in diplomacy in early modern Europe. In the period following the Reformations, Europe became divided: all over the continent princes and their people segregated over theological, liturgical, and spiritual matters. At the same time, diplomacy rose as a means of communication and policy, so all powers established long- or short-term embassies and sent envoys to other courts and capitals. The book addresses three main areas where questions of religion and/or confession played a role: Papal diplomacy, priests and other clerics as diplomatic agents, and religion as a question for diplomatic debate, especially concerning embassy chapels"--

This book challenges existing accounts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in which political developments are explained in terms of the rise of the nation-state. While monarchies are often portrayed as old-fashioned – as things of the past – we argue that modern monarchies have been at the centre of nation-construction in many parts of the world. Today, roughly a quarter of states define themselves as monarchies as well as nation-states – they are Royal Nations. This is a global phenomenon. This volume interrogates the relationship between royals and ‘their’ nations with transnational case studies from Asia, Africa, Europe as well as South America. The fifteen contributors discuss concepts and structures, visual and performative representations, and memory cultures of modern monarchies in relation to rising nationalist movements. This book thereby analyses the worldwide significance of the Royal Nation.

"Doing Cultural History" collects papers on a variety of topics. The issues addressed span from the 12th to the 21st century and include the communication of peace in written and pictorial sources, narrative structures in legal texts, masculinity and violence, and new research into Scottish medieval history as well as a comparison of religious theme parks and the perception of sorcery and false saintliness in early modern Spain. »Das Close Reading der Quellen in vielen Beiträgen eröffnet [...] die Nachvollziehbarkeit des Arbeits- und Argumentationsganges. So bietet der Band erste Zugänge zu unterschiedlichen Gegenstandsbereichen und zu diversen Quellengruppen sowie gelungene Fallstudien.« Astrid Ackermann, www.sehepunkte.de, 19/11 (2019)
