Die Vierteljahrschrift für Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte und ihr Herausgeber Hermann Aubin im Nationalsozialismus
Die VSWG war seit ihrer Grundung 1903 das zentrale Fachorgan fur wirtschaftshistorische Fragen. Vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg international hochst erfolgreich und mit groaem innovatorischem Prestige behaftet, verlor die Zeitschrift nach 1914 erheblich an Bedeutung, ohne doch ihr Programm wesentlich zu verandern. Wie verhielt sie sich unter ihrem langjahrigen Herausgeber Hermann Aubin im Nationalsozialismus? Wie strukturierte ihre programmatische Linie die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung, und umgekehrt? In einer unubersichtlichen Vielfalt wissenschaftlicher und politischer Standards bot die VSWG ein vielschichtiges Bild, das die vorliegende Arbeit nachzuzeichnen versucht. Dazu werden verschie...
Die Steiermark im Spätmittelalter
Der Band mit 18 Beiträgen behandelt in seinem ersten Teil die wechselvolle äußere Geschichte des Landes unter den Habsburgern von Rudolf I. zu den Kaisern Friedrich III. und Maximilian I., als die Steiermark Nebenland weitausgreifender Politik wurde sowie Pest und Feindeinfälle bewältigen musste. Es folgen die Verfassung und Verwaltung des Landes, die Rolle der Landstände und die Landesverteidigung, weiters das materielle Profil des Landes mit der Entfaltung der Gesellschaft von Adel und Bauern bis zum Städtewesen, der Wirtschaft und dem Bergbau. Ein dritter Teil gilt dem geistlichen und kulturellen Leben mit dem Bildungswesen, der Literatur und Wissenschaft, dem Musikleben, der Architektur und Malerei von der Gotik bis zur Renaissance.
Urban Space in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age
Although the city as a central entity did not simply disappear with the Fall of the Roman Empire, the development of urban space at least since the twelfth century played a major role in the history of medieval and early modern mentality within a social-economic and religious framework. Whereas some poets projected urban space as a new utopia, others simply reflected the new significance of the urban environment as a stage where their characters operate very successfully. As today, the premodern city was the locus where different social groups and classes got together, sometimes peacefully, sometimes in hostile terms. The historical development of the relationship between Christians and Jews...
Cosmopolitan Baroque
This book examines the cultural relations between the Spanish and Austrian Habsburg monarchies in the seventeenth century and explores the central role of transnational aristocratic networks in cultural transfer processes between Spain and Central Europe. It tells the story of Central European aristocrats who embraced new foreign fashions, commodities, and practices to demonstrate their wealth and superior social position, thereby contributing significantly to the emergence of a cosmopolitan aristocratic Baroque culture. It shows that a new type of aristocrat emerged during this period: the cultured and educated aristocratic connoisseur, who knew how to use cultural imports and practices for...

Pour une histoire des Alpes, Moyen Age et Temps Modernes
The Alps, as Professor Bergier shows in this selection of his work, should not be considered an impassable barrier, nor an isolated region, but rather as an integral part of the history of Europe. The lowlanders’ typical view of the mountains as fearful heights to be crossed, and the image of those who lived there as existing in a delicate balance with nature, are part only of the story. These articles are particularly concerned with transalpine traffic, and the different routes it took in response to changing circumstances in the lands to south and north, and with the exploitation and use of mountain resources. A number aim also to identify the particularities of the mountain way of life, and its social and political organisation.
Ferdinand II, Counter-Reformation Emperor, 1578-1637
Emperor Ferdinand II (1619-1637) stands out as a crucial figure in the Counter-Reformation in central Europe, a leading player in the Thirty Years War, the most important ruler in the consolidation of the Habsburg monarchy, and the emperor who reinvigorated the office after its decline under his two predecessors. This is the first biography of Ferdinand since a long-outdated one written in German in 1978 and the first ever in English. It looks at his reign as territorial ruler of Inner Austria from 1598 until his election as emperor and especially at the influence of his mother, the formidable Archduchess Maria, in order to understand his later policies as emperor. This book focuses on the consistency of his policies and the profound influence of religion on his policies throughout his career. It also follows the contest at court between those who favored consolidation of the Habsburg lands and those who aimed for expansion in the empire, as well as between those who favored a militant religious policy and those who advocated a moderate one.
