ABOUT

This series publishes interdisciplinary scholarship about history of East Central Europe. It aims to contribute to a broader understanding of the social, economic, and political culture of East Central Europe as an integral part of Europe and a significant contributor to the human story globally. By highlighting the ‘specificity’ of East Central Europe, this series promotes East Central Europe not only as a geographic or cultural concept but also as a method of historical analysis.

The series challenges the application of the concepts of periphery and frontier, and cultural transmission in medieval studies, and aims at integrating East Central European history into the study of the medieval world globally. The series also addresses the fundamental issue of the prevalent perception that the people and cultures of the European periphery were radically separate and mutually hostile. Often paradoxical connections existed between different peoples of East Central Europe over time and this series seeks to publish works which explore the questions regarding interconnection, space, and identity in the European periphery.

This series aims to demonstrate that the continued experiences of the ‘making of Europe’ imply that thinking about human existence in terms of ‘us and them’ is at once historically specific and generic and that detailed cultural histories of response to cultural transmission are needed to give account of human experience.
