Peasant Violence and Antisemitism in Early Twentieth-Century Eastern Europe, by Irina Marin
At the beginning of 1907, Romania appeared to be one of the more politically stable countries in Europe, having enjoyed nearly thirty years of independence under the same monarch, Charles I; an apparently functional parliamentary system; and gradual increases in urbanisation, infrastructure and literacy. By the spring of the same year, a series of rural revolts spread from Moldavia in the north of the country to Wallachia in the south-west. These…
Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe
This encyclopedia documents the presence and impact of nationalized cultural consciousness in European nationalism. It tracks how intellectuals, historians, philologists, novelists, poets, painters, folklorists, and composers, in an intensely collaborative transnational network, articulated the national identities and aspirations that would go on to determine European history and politics, with effects that are still felt today.

Mirna Zeman. Reise zu den “Illyriern”
Historians' interest in travel and geographical literature as a source of stereotypes has increased in recent years, partly as a result of the ongoing influence of Edward Said's Orientalism (1978) and other studies positing the significant influence of such works on worldviews and territorial identities. There are now many studies that treat larger geopolitical units as “mental maps”: scholars have moved beyond “the Orient” to interrogate notions…
