Through Belgian Eyes
Charlotte Brontes years in Belgium (184243) had a huge influence both on her life and her work. It was in Brussels that she not only honed her writing skills but fell in love and lived through the experiences that inspired two of her four novels: her first, The Professor, and her last and in many ways most interesting, Villette. Her feelings about Belgium are known from her novels and letters her love for her tutor Heger, her uncomplimentary remarks about Belgians, the powerful effect on her imagination of living abroad. But what about Belgian views of Charlotte Bronte? What has her legacy been in Brussels? How have Belgian commentators responded to her portrayal of their capital city and th...
Protagonists of War
Julián Romero, Sancho Dávila, Cristóbal de Mondragón, and Francisco de Valdés were prominent Spanish military commanders during the first decade of the Revolt in the Low Countries (1567–1577). Occupying key positions in this conflict, they featured as central characters in various war narratives and episodical descriptions of the events they were involved in, ranging from chronicles, poems, theatre plays, engravings, and songs to news pamphlets. To this day, they still figure as protagonists of historical novels: brave heroes in some, cruel oppressors in others. Yet personal, first-hand accounts also exist. Archival research into the letters written by these commanders now makes it possible to include their perspectives and the way they describe their own experiences. Looking through the eyes of four Spanish commanders, Protagonists of War provides the reader with an alternative reading of the Revolt, contrasting the subjective experiences of these protagonists with fictionalised perceptions.

Les Acteurs de la justice
Pour remplir les missions qui lui sont dévolues, la justice, de tout temps et en tout lieu, a d'abord été affaire d'hommes. Parmi les acteurs de la justice, le juge a une position privilégiée, mais il ne faut pas oublier les autres intervenants : avocats et procureurs, greffiers et huissiers, qui permettent à l'œuvre de juridiction de fonctionner. Il est utile de s'interroger sur le rôle de ces différents acteurs, sur leur fonction précise et le sens de leurs interventions. Il s'agit là d'une condition essentielle pour comprendre le fonctionnement effectif de la justice. Cette question a retenu l'attention de la Société d'histoire du droit et des institutions des pays flamands, ...
