The Dream of the North
Author: Peter Fjagesund
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9401210829
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 575
Book Description
Northern Europe and North America have dominated the world stage for more than two centuries. Using a wide range of sources, this book provides the first coherent account from a multi-national perspective of the ideas and perceptions that, from the Renaissance onwards, fuelled the North’s rise to prominence, and enabled it to rival the traditional cultural and political hegemony of the South. This includes not only the fascinating conquest of the polar regions, but also the religious upheaval of the Reformation, the changing view of nature engendered by Romanticism, and, not least, the revival of ancient Nordic and Celtic culture. Finally, the book offers an indispensable historical background to current events in the Far North, where the past and the future meet in a complex web of dramatic environmental concerns, the exploitation of natural resources, and the strategies of politics and commerce.

History of Central and Northern Europe
Author: Robert Frost
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
ISBN: 9781405156776
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
This is a bold, interpretive history of Central and Northern Europe from the end of the fourth century AD to the present. Encompassing the entire region north of the Alps and Carpathian mountains and between the Rhine and the Dnieper rivers, it tells the story of a part of Europe that history has tended to overlook. The development of modern Europe has traditionally been the tale of the rise of centralised state/national power, usually linked to the theme of modernization. This has worked to a greater or lesser degree for Western European states, and for Russia, but the smaller states of Europe, those that tend to be found in Central and Northern Europe, provide a different version of events. This is the world of unions and confederal states, the Kalmar Union of Denmark, Norway and Sweden (1397-1523) through the Holy Roman Empire (800/911-1806) to the Polish Lithuanian Union and then Commonwealth (1385-1795/1815). Other composite states include the Habsburg monarchy, uniting Austria, Bohemia and Hungary 1526-1918. The region evolved as a series of decentralized, consensual politics where central power was relatively weak - or if, in places it was strong, as in Scandinavia - it was strong because of its consensual base. Robert Frost describes a Europe in which 'nations' and different ethnic and religious groups lived side-by-side in a pattern which, until the ethnic cleansing of the 20th century, defied attempts ot construct neat national boundaries, whether physical or cultural. Many of the political states on the map of this region today are very recent inventions. The book explores the internal development of the region, its impact on the rest of Europe and the wider world, politically, economically, socially and culturally. And it raises uncomfortably questions about the contemporary world, demonstrating how experiments such as the formation of Yugoslavia (1929), designed by western powers on western models, were doomed to failure.
