Haunted narratives
Exploring life writing from a variety of cultural contexts, Haunted Narratives provides new insights into how individuals and communities across time and space deal with traumatic experiences and haunting memories. From the perspectives of trauma theory, memory studies, gender studies, literary studies, philosophy, and post-colonial studies, the volume stresses the lingering, haunting presence of the past in the present.

History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe
Continuing the work undertaken in Vol. 1 of the History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe, Vol. 2 considers various topographic sites--multicultural cities, border areas, cross-cultural corridors, multiethnic regions--that cut across national boundaries, rendering them permeable to the flow of hybrid cultural messages.

Estonia and the Estonians provides the first compendious survey in any language of Estonian history, from prehistoric times to the twenty-first century.

Geschichte der estnischen Literatur
Die erste ausführliche moderne Monographie zur estnischen Literatur in einer Weltsprache, die nicht aus dem Estnischen übersetzt ist und daher mit dem „Blick von außen“ an diese kleine und vermeintlich junge, in ihrer mündlich tradierten Volksdichtung aber sehr alte europäische Literatur herangeht. Die Darstellung ist literatursoziologisch angelegt und behandelt neben den wichtigsten Werken auch das gesellschaftspolitische Umfeld, in begrenztem Maße auch die Biographien der Autorinnen und Autoren. Gleichzeitig ist es eine klassische Gesamtdarstellung, die chronologisch aufgebaut ist: Sie beginnt mit der oralen Volksliteratur, behandelt die Herausbildung einer estnischsprachigen Textproduktion im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert und gelangt über die Darstellung der Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts zur virtuellen Computerliteratur des 21. Jahrhunderts.
