The eighth century has not been analysed as a period of economic history since the 1930s, and is ripe for a comprehensive reassessment. The twelve papers in this book range over the whole of Europe and the Mediterranean from Denmark to Palestine, covering Francia, Italy and Byzantium on the way. They examine regional economies and associated political structures, that is to say the whole network of production, exchange, and social relations in each area. They offer both authoritative overviews of current work and new and original work. As a whole, they show how the eighth century was the first century when the post-Roman world can clearly be seen to have emerged, in the regional economies of each part of Europe.

They were, in the words of one contemporary observer, ""the Promised Lands."" In all of Europe, only Northern Italy could rival the economic power and cultural wealth of the Low Countries in the later Middle Ages. In The Promised Lands, Wim Blockman
The Western Home: A Literary History of Norwegian America is a history of American literature. It is different from other histories of American literature in that the language of the writers and their readers was not English. There have been studies of American authors who have used languages such as French, German, Spanish, or Swedish, but this is the first comprehensive history of any literature written and read in the United States in another language than English. Indeed, most histories of American literature are based on the theory that English is the only American literary language. Such a theory, however, dismisses the fact that English has in periods been a minority language in many areas. In this book American literature is the literature of people who are American by choice or by birth regardless of the language they may have used. This book demonstrates that Norwegian has indeed been an American literary language and that many of the American writers in this language deserve our attention.
This collection of papers contains historical case studies, systematic contributions of a general nature, and applications to specific sciences. The bibliographies of the contributions contain references to all central items from the traditions that are relevant today. While providing access to contemporary views on the issue, the papers illustrate the wide variety of functions of metaphors and analogies, as well as the many connections between the study of some of these functions and other subjects and disciplines.
New historicism and cultural materialism emerged in the early 1980s as prominent literary theories and came to represent a revival of interest in history and in historicising literature. Their proponents rejected both formalist criticism and earlier attempts to read literature in its historical context and defined new ways of thinking about literature in relation to history. This study explains the development of these theories and demonstrates both their uses and weaknesses as critical practices. The potential future direction for the theories is explored and the controversial debates about their validity in literary studies are discussed.
Eleven contributors--among them philosophers, economists, historians, and political scientists from the United States and Europe--present an overview of the intellectual influences and historical events which inspired Hayek and examine the idea of spontaneous order. They also describe Hayek's reasons for rejecting constructivism in favor of an evolutionary approach to economics, political theory, and legal theory. They also consider major topics in his work, such as the welfare state, the neutrality of the state, the morality of social cooperation, the rule of law, and the concepts of totalitarianism and freedom.

The present volume brings together European and American scholars from a range of complementary disciplines (cartographers, economic and social historians, historians of social and political institutions, economic geographers, historians of art and textual analysts), all of whom are interested in exploring potential interconnections between their respective approaches to the study of regions and landscapes, 'real' or imagined, in the early modern and medieval periods.Focusing on the Rhineland and Low Countries, the essays offer a collective, interdisciplinary approach which aims to shed light on at least some of the complexities underlying any attempt to analyse what we might understand by landscape or region in a particular historical context.
