Kulturgeschichte der baltischen Lander in der Fruhen Neuzeit (German, Hardcover, Reprint 2011 ed.)

The return of the Baltic states to Europe has been accompanied by a veritable glut of largely historical literature. The present volume is the first to essay a culture-historical synopsis. As such, it represents a new look at the cultural area around the Baltic, with a number of forays into the contemporary situation. The articles assembled range from book production and libraries, and studies and portraits on the history of language, literature, science, and scholarship to inquiries into the media and the role they have played in the constitution of memoria.
