Unnamed Country
Americans have an idea of what the Great Plains did to the people who settled there but know little about the analogous process north of the 49th parallel, or how it was reflected in fiction. Dick Harrison's Unnamed Country fills this gap. Harrison traces the varying literary responses to the Canadian prairies, from the bewilderment of the first English-speaking visitors, who saw the country in essentially negative terms -- no wood, no water -- down to the contemporary novelists who are employing sophisticated modem fictional techniques to reinterpret the whole experience from a new perspective. Between these two ends of the literary continuum he finds the early writers of fiction too loaded down with what he calls "excess cultural baggage" brought from Britain or eastern Canada to see the country as it was; the early twentieth-century writers, bemused by the myth of the garden, who portrayed the prairies subdued and fruitful; the prairie realists of the 1920s and 1930s, akin to O. E. Rolvaag in their tragic view; and their contemporaries, the popular novelists, who depicted the pioneering process in more affirmative tones.

Jesus
Jesus – historiens mest kända individ – finns det mer att skriva om honom? Javisst, anser historikern Dick Harrison, särskilt om man vänder på perspektiven och ställer frågor som är intressanta för nutidsmänniskan. Att Jesus har tillägnats fler biografiska verk än någon annan historisk gestalt är på samma gång självklart som obegripligt. Självklart, eftersom den rörelse han drog igång utvecklades till världens största religion. Obegripligt, eftersom vi har så få säkra biografiska uppgifter om honom. De äldsta källorna, från aposteln Paulus tid, nämner endast några få detaljer om hans liv och lära. Källorna i Nya testamentet är källkritiskt sett besvärli...

Stora döden
Vinnare av Augustpriset i fackboksklassen 2000 Fortfarande ryser vi inför ordet digerdöden. Och det är inte konstigt med tanke på dess härjningar. Den medeltida pestepidemin slukade proportionellt sett fler människoliv än någon annan historisk katastrof. Digerdöden är förvisso inget kärt barn men har ändå många namn: svarta döden, svarta pesten, bråddöden och mannadöden. För 1300-talets människor, bedövade av epidemins omfattning, var den helt enkelt stora döden. Dick Harrisons mäktiga krönika tar oss med på en kuslig färd i digerdödens fotspår åren 1347-1352. Hur påverkades samhället av pesten? Fanns det en koppling till senmedeltidens bondeuppror? Varför utsågt just judar till syndabockar? Hur förändrades arkitektur, konst och litteratur? Vilka mediciner föreskrev de lärde och vilka botemedel använde vanligt folk? En genomarbetad och gripande beskrivning av pesten i Europa. Allt ifrån dess ursprung och spridning till dess sociala och ekonomiska konsekvenser.
