Book Description
Winner of the 2020 Verbruggen prize This book provides a comprehensive synthesis of scholarship on Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages. The goal is to offer an overview of the current state of research and a basic route map for navigating an abundant historiography available in more than 10 different languages. The literature published in English on the medieval history of Eastern Europe—books, chapters, and articles—represents a little more than 11 percent of the historiography. The companion is therefore meant to provide an orientation into the existing literature that may not be available because of linguistic barriers and, in addition, an introductory bibliography in English. Winner of the 2020 Verbruggen prize, awarded annually by the De Re Militari society for the best book on medieval military history. The awarding committee commented that the book ‘has an enormous range, and yet is exceptionally scholarly with a fine grasp of detail. Its title points to a general history of eastern Europe, but it is dominated by military episodes which make it of the highest value to anybody writing about war and warmaking in this very neglected area of Europe.’ See inside the book.

Book Description
The acceptance of Christianity in the tenth century is the most significant cultural event in the history of modern Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. A vast reservoir of cultural concepts, expressions, and iconographic images has developed within the Eastern Orthodox tradition, and now Slavic specialists, theologians, historians, and literary scholars can turn to a collection which examines the majestic sweep of a thousand years of Slavic Christianity. This three-volume collection brings together essays from two international conferences. The present volume explores the history and influence of Christianization from the tenth to the seventeenth century. Volume II will examine cultural history from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, and Volume III will examine literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Book Description
This publication in three volumes originated in papers delivered at two conferences held in May 1988 at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies in Washington, DC. Like many other conferences organized that year in the United States, Europe, and the Soviet Union, they were convened to commemorate the millennium of the acceptance of Christianity in Rus'. This collection of essays throws light on the enormous, truly unique role that the Christian tradition has played throughout the centuries in shaping the nations that spring from Kievan Rus'—the Russians, Ukrainians, and Belorussians. Although these volumes devote greater attention to Russian culture, the investigation of the issue in the history of Christianity in Ukrainian and Belorussian cultures occupies an important and integral part of the project.

Book Description
"The Slavs is a book of original conception and wide scope: it covers over a thousand years of history, from the eighth century to the present day. The Slav peoples, inhabiting the eastern fringes of Europe, were latecomers to civilization. They developed as separate nations, and although they have now been brought together under a single ideology, this relative uniformity makes a strong contrast with the diversity and tumult of the past. The Eastern Slavs (Russians, Ukrainians, Byelorussians), the Poles, the Czechs and Slovaks, the Croats and Slovenes, the Bulgars and Macedonians -- each of these groups followed a path of its own. Eventful and often tragic, Slav history in all periods is fascinatingly strange. In most Slavic countries, the Middle Ages have dovetailed directly with the modern world. Serfdom did not disappear from Russia until the mid-nineteenth century. Economic development was late. But change, when it came, was stupendously rapid: the switch to capitalism took place far more quickly than in the West, and the new social forms it brought with it turned out to be mushroom growths. After two world wars and the revolution of 1917, the social and economic structure of the twentieth-century Slav world is still in the process of radical transformation. The author has successfully disentangled the confusion of nationalities, languages and religions in Slavic history. The author presents a vivid, evocative picture -- both of remote periods, in all their charm and naiveté, and of the present day, which he treats in an unusually objective spirit."--Dust jacket.
