Mythology and Nation Building
Stories of gods, heroes and monsters permeated discourses of national selfhood in the nineteenth century. During this tumultuous time, Europe’s modern nations arose from the misty waters of long-forgotten national pasts – or so was the perception at the time. Each embedded in their particular national and political contexts, towering cultural figures – N.F.S. Grundtvig, Jacob Grimm, Jonás Halgrímsson, William Morris, Adam Oehlenschläger and many more – were catalysts for the formation of national discourses of belonging, built upon the mythological story-worlds of Europe’s non-classical vernacular pasts. This interdisciplinary book offers new perspectives on the uses of pre-Christian mythologies in the formation of national communities in nineteenth-century Northern and Western Europe. Through theoretical articles and case studies, it puts forth new understandings of how cultural thinkers across Europe utilized pre-Christian mythologies as symbolic resources in the forging of national communities. Perceptions of national identity were thus shaped, many of which are still at play today.
Comparative and Veterinary Pharmacology
The human–animal bond has evolved and diversi?ed down the ages. Dogs, cats and even horses, have long ful?lled the role of faithful companion and indeed, as exempli?ed by the introduction of seeing and hearing dogs, there may be a critical level of co-dependency between the species. In the twenty-?rst century, the animal types that are kept as pets in many parts of the world are extensive ranging from reptiles through rodents to ruminants and beyond. As would be predicted by the nature of the relationship, the approach to treatment of a companion animal is often closely aligned to that which would have been offered to their owner. However, an increasing awareness of welfare issues, such as...

The Early Danish-Muscovite Treaties 1493-1523
The book introduces a largely unknown chapter in the history of Danish and Muscovite foreign policy and diplomacy by addressing the unprecedented treaties of alliance and cooperation concluded by the two powers in the final decades of the Middle Ages. The treaties, directed against Sweden and Lithuania and impacting actors across the Baltic region, generated an intense political relationship resulting in a staggering fifty diplomatic missions between Copenhagen and Moscow over the thirty-year period. 0With many of the sources written in Russian and Danish (and Latin and Low German), the relative neglect of the episode in modern scholarship is understandable. To remedy the problem, the author publishes the extant Latin and Russian texts of the treaties in a new, critical reading of the original acts, with translations into English and extensive commentaries. For context, he further details the historical circumstances and diplomatic processes leading to the conclusion of each individual treaty and expounds the differences between Muscovite and Western treaty-making practices at the time.
