Oxford Handbook of Medieval Central Europe by Nada Zecevic

The Oxford Handbook of Medieval Central Europe summarizes the political, social, and cultural history of medieval Central Europe (c. 800-1600 CE), a region long considered a "forgotten" area of the European past. The 25 cutting-edge chapters present up-to-date research about the region's core medieval kingdoms -- Hungary, Poland, and Bohemia -- and their dynamic interactions with neighboring areas. From the Baltic to the Adriatic, the handbook includes reflections on modern conceptions and uses of the region's shared medieval traditions. The volume's thematic organization reveals rarely compared knowledge about the region's medieval resources: its peoples and structures of power; its social life and economy; its religion and culture; and images of its past.

This volume grew out of the work of the varied and dynamic scholars who comprise the Medieval Central European Research Network, and it appropriately illustrates their heterogeneity and multidisciplinary approach* Choice *

Nada Zecevic teaches the history of the Balkans at Goldsmiths, University of London, where she also directs the Centre for the Study of the Balkans. Daniel Ziemann is Associate Professor at the Department of Medieval Studies at Central European University (CEU) in Vienna.
