Practices of Diplomacy in the Early Modern World offers a new contribution to the ongoing reassessment of early modern international relations and diplomatic history. Divided into three parts, it provides an examination of diplomatic culture from the Renaissance into the eighteenth century and presents the development of diplomatic practices as more complex, multifarious and globally interconnected than the traditional state-focussed, national paradigm allows.The volume addresses three central and intertwined themes within early modern diplomacy: who and what could claim diplomatic agency and in what circumstances; the social and cultural contexts in which diplomacy was practised; and the role of material culture in diplomatic exchange. Together the chapters provide a broad geographical and chronological presentation of the development of diplomatic practices and, through a strong focus on the processes and significance of cultural exchanges between polities, demonstrate how it was possible for diplomats to negotiate the cultural codes of the courts to which they were sent.This exciting collection brings together new and established scholars of diplomacy from different academic traditions. It will be essential reading for all students of diplomatic history.

'Wenn wir strikt nur diejenigen Autoren und Werke in Betracht ziehen, die wirklich von weltliterarischer Bedeutung sind, schrumpft der unendlich scheinende Stoff in verblüffendem Masse zusammen. Die wirkliche Weltliteratur, könnte man sagen, findet Platz in einer sorgfältig ausgewählten Privatbibliothek, ihre Bände können entlang den Wänden eines grösseren Studierzimmers aufgestellt werden.'Literatur soll - so Szerbs Credo - in exemplarischer Weise die Ewigkeit repräsentieren, ihre Geltung von gesamtmenschlicher, überhistorischer Relevanz sein. Szerbs Begriff der Weltliteratur umfasst daher nur das, was er für das Beste hielt, will heissen: ausschliesslich jene Autoren und Werke, die über die Jahrhunderte und alle Landesgrenzen hinweg Bestand hatten. Szerbs unerhörte Belesenheit, sein originelles und sicheres kritisches Urteil, sein leicht lesbarer und auch humorvoller Stil wiegen die Tatsache auf, dass seit 1941 dies und jenes vielleicht nicht mehr vertreten werden kann, aber welche Literaturgeschichte, erst recht welche Weltliteraturgeschichte, wird da und dort nicht überholt?

Freedom, today perceived simply as a human right, was a continually contested idea in the early modern period. In Freedom and the Construction of Europe an international group of scholars explore the richness, diversity and complexity of thinking about freedom in the shaping of modernity. Volume 1 examines debates about religious and constitutional liberties, as well as exploring the tensions between free will and divine omnipotence across a continent of proliferating religious denominations. Debates about freedom have been fundamental to the construction of modern Europe, but represent a part of our intellectual heritage that is rarely examined in depth. These volumes provide materials for thinking in fresh ways not merely about the concept of freedom, but how it has come to be understood in our own time.

Romanopisac, pripovjedač, pjesnik, feljtonist, putopisac i dramatičar August Šenoa (1838-1881) obilježio je cijelo jedno razdoblje hrvatske književnosti, na razmeđu romantizma i realizma, koje se naziva'Šenoino doba'. Autor je prvog novijeg hrvatskog romana'Zlatarovo zlato'. Iako su Šenoine pjesme uglavnom rodoljubne i ljubavne, njegov lirski opus varira u rasponu od religiozne do satirične lirike. Slijedeći uglavnom tradicionalnu silabičku metriku pisao je balade, romance, sonete i dr. Njegove lirske pjesme zauzimaju osobito važno mjesto u prvim godinama njegovog stvaralaštva, a u njima je često izražavao politički program narodnjačkog pokreta (Na Ozlju gradu, Hrvatska pjesma, Budi svoj!, U slavu J. J. Strossmayera, Klevetnikom Hrvatske, Hrvat Bosni i dr.). Antologijska je njegova pjesma'Zagrebu', koja je postala svojevrsnom himnom glavnog grada Hrvatske. Šenoa je i osnivač moderne hrvatske kajkavske dijalektalne poezije. Ovo e-izdanje sadrži kompletan Šenoin pjesnički opus: njegove ljubavne, rodoljubne, šaljive i satirične pjesme, nekoliko legendi, romanca i balada, te prigodnice.'Povjestice'su objavljene posebno.

Since emerging as a settlement in the seventh century, Dubrovnik has faced Venetian aggressors, Ottoman plotters, a terrible earthquake in 1667 and, finally, the will of Napoleon. In 1991-92 the city survived the besieging Yugoslav army, which heavily damaged but did not destroy its cultural heritage. This book is a comprehensive history of Dubrovnik's progress over twelve centuries of European development, encompassing arts, architecture, social and economic changes, politics and the trauma of war.
