Jay Winter's powerful study of the 'collective remembrance' of the Great War offers a major reassessment of one of the critical episodes in the cultural history of the twentieth century. Dr Winter looks anew at the culture of commemoration and the ways in which communities endeavoured to find collective solace after 1918. Taking issue with the prevailing 'modernist' interpretation of the European reaction to the appalling events of 1914-18, Dr Winter instead argues that what characterised that reaction was, rather, the attempt to interpret the Great War within traditional frames of reference. Tensions arose inevitably. Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning is a profound and moving book of seminal importance for the attempt to understand the course of European history during the first half of the twentieth century.

Al meer dan vijftig jaar houdt prof. em. jkvr. dr. Johanna Maria van Winter zich bezig met middeleeuwse studies. Zij studeerde geschiedenis in Groningen en Gent (1945-1953), met middeleeuwse geschiedenis als hoofdvak. In 1962 promoveerde ze op Ministerialiteit en ridderschap in Gelre en Zutphen. Hoewel ze het onderwerp niet zelf had gekozen, lag het haar zo goed dat ministerialiteit, ridderschap en adel in West-Europa een rode draad in haar onderzoek zijn gebleven. Daar kwamen twee belangrijke onderzoeksvelden bij: de geschiedenis van voedsel en gezondheid en de geschiedenis van stad en provincie Utrecht, in het bijzonder de Romeinse en middeleeuwse loop van Rijn en Vecht. Tot op de dag van vandaag doet zij onderzoek op deze terreinen. Deze bundel ter ere van haar negentigste verjaardag bevat de oogst van de afgelopen tien jaar: 29 artikelen, afkomstig uit (buitenlandse) bundels en tijdschriften, in of vertaald naar het Nederlands.

Before Rwanda and Bosnia, and before the Holocaust, the first genocide of the twentieth century happened in Turkish Armenia in 1915, when approximately one million people were killed. This volume is an account of the American response to this atrocity. The first part sets up the framework for understanding the genocide: Sir Martin Gilbert, Vahakn Dadrian and Jay Winter provide an analytical setting for nine scholarly essays examining how Americans learned of this catastrophe and how they tried to help its victims. Knowledge and compassion, though, were not enough to stop the killings. A terrible precedent was born in 1915, one which has come to haunt the United States and other Western countries throughout the twentieth century and beyond. To read the essays in this volume is chastening: the dilemmas Americans faced when confronting evil on an unprecedented scale are not very different from the dilemmas we face today.
