Sensuous Worship
It provides the first comprehensive treatment of the Jesuits' poorly understood but remarkable revitalization of German religious art and culture - an accomplishment that would guide the direction of both religious life and subsequent German Baroque art."--BOOK JACKET.
Romantik Volume 2
The articles in this second issue of Romantik demonstrate the crucial role of emergent regionalism and nationalism within the Romantic movement. But, the contributors also explore how the transmission of ideas and inspiration took place across national as well as linguistic boundaries, and how knowledge was transferred from one domain of knowledge to another. The articles provide a new map of such cultural exchanges in the Romantic era and the multiplicity of agencies that made them possible. Romantik continues to place the plurality of European Romanticisms within a comprehensive and multi-lingual context.
Imagology
How do national stereotypes emerge? To which extent are they determined by historical or ideological circumstances, or else by cultural, literary or discursive conventions? This first inclusive critical compendium on national characterizations and national (cultural or ethnic) stereotypes contains 120 articles by 73 contributors. Its three parts offer [1] a number of in-depth survey articles on ethnic and national images in European literatures and cultures over many centuries; [2] an encyclopedic survey of the stereotypes and characterizations traditionally ascribed to various ethnicities and nationalities; and [3] a conspectus of relevant concepts in various cultural fields and scholarly disciplines. The volume as a whole, as well as each of the articles, has extensive bibliographies for further critical reading. Imagologyis intended both for students and for senior scholars, facilitating not only a first acquaintance with the historical development, typology and poetics of national stereotypes, but also a deepening of our understanding and analytical perspective by interdisciplinary and comparative contextualization and extensive cross-referencing.

Die Habsburgermonarchie und der Dreißigjährige Krieg
Die Habsburgermonarchie bleibt in Überblicksdarstellungen zum Dreißigjährigen Krieg meist eher am Rande der Darstellung – lediglich am Beginn und gegen Ende des Kriegs gerät sie prominenter in den Blick. Der Band gibt einleitend einen Überblick zu den Ereignissen in den verschiedenen Ländern der Monarchie, die von Kriegshandlungen und Kriegsfolgen sehr unterschiedlich betroffen waren. Die Beiträge, denen sich solche zu den Habsburgern als Landesfürsten und Kriegsherren, zu Kriegsfinanzen, verschiedenen Selbstzeugnisse und zur Erinnerungskultur anschließen, machen vor allem eines deutlich: Der Dreißigjährige Krieg hat das Leben der Menschen in der Habsburgermonarchie sehr viel tiefgreifender beeinflusst, als bislang oft vermutet. Neben den direkten Kriegsfolgen machten sich die Einquartierungen, die drückende Steuerlast oder auch die Bauernunruhen in verschiedenen Teilen der Monarchie deutlich bemerkbar.
