‎What is North? Imagining the North from Ancient Times to the Present Day‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 408 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:18 b/w, 11 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503585024.‎

‎Summary The British Isles, Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland, and Eastern Canada, alongside many small islands, form a broken bridge across the northern extremities of the Atlantic Ocean. This 'North Atlantic World' is a heterogeneous but culturally intertwined area, ideally suited to the fostering of an interest in all things northern by its people. For the storytellers and writers of the past, each more northerly land was far enough away that it could seem fabulous and even otherworldly, while still being just close enough for myths and travellers' tales to accrue. This book charts attitudes to the North in the North Atlantic World from the time of the earliest extant sources until the present day. The varied papers within consider a number of key questions which have arisen repeatedly over the centuries: 'where is the North located?', 'what are its characteristics?', and 'who, or what lives there?'. They do so from many angles, considering numerous locations and an immense span of time. All are united by their engagement with the North Atlantic World's relationship with the North.

‎Historiography and Identity VI: Competing Narratives of the Past in Central and Eastern Europe, c. 1200 - c. 1600‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xii + 468 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503585451.‎

‎Summary The volume discusses Central European and Eastern Central European historiographies of the High and Late Middle Ages. It deals with histories written in a time which brought about a profound differentiation of medieval societies in these regions. As new social classes achieved economic and political power, the demand for reassuring identifications grew more pressing. Narratives of the past were tailored specifically for distinct social groups, often using vernacular languages instead of the universal language of elite education, Latin. The volume pays attention to the interplay between languages and focuses on the strategies that individual works developed in order to balance the many alternative modes of identification. Filling a significant scholarly gap, the volume offers important insights into narratives of identification written in Latin and in the various vernaculars emerging as the new political languages of the period.

‎pp. [4], 115. Deckle edged. 24mo. 160 mm. Foxed. Disbound, but with the original front board and printed spine title present. Issued around the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this unusual and scarce guide to the social life and customs of Philadelphia (then the second most populous city in the U.S.) covers a wide territory with a keen eye. Lawyers, doctors, professors, popular fashions, social leaders and climbers, Utopians, etc. are examined. The Wistar Parties are named for Caspar Wistar (1761-1818) a famous physician and anatomist. It was his habit to throw open his house once every week in the winter, and at these gatherings students, citizens, scientists, and travelers met and discussed subjects of interest. These assemblies, celebrated in the annals of Philadelphia under the title of Wistar parties (or balls), were continued long after his death by other residents of that city. Very scarce and interesting. PA29‎
