‘The Slippery Memory of Men’: The Place of Pomerania in the Medieval Kingdom of Poland: East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 450-1450, cartea 21

Autor Paul Milliman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 ian 2013
Paul Milliman's The Slippery Memory of Men is the first monograph on the role played by the early fourteenth-century trials between Poland and the Teutonic Knights in the restoration of the Polish kingdom. It is also only the second English-language monograph on this important transitional period in Polish history and the first in over 40 years. Milliman first analyzes the thirteenth-century borderland society of the south Baltic littoral, especially in Pomerania, and then uses the lengthy testimonies of over 150 witnesses from the fourteenth-century trials to examine the role of the memory of this borderland in informing the witnesses' views of where the kingdom of Poland was as well as who should be included within its boundaries.

Recenzii

"...Because Pomerania would be at the center of many disputes between Germans and Poles in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, modern nationalists on both sides have frequently misrepresented the region’s medieval history. Milliman attempts to move beyond these problematic historiographical traditions by returning to the medieval sources. In the process, he provides a far more detailed and nuanced narrative of Pomerania’s medieval history than has ever appeared before in English, and he also calls attention to a variety of underutilized fourteenth-
century sources for the study of memory and identity formation in this pivotal frontier region."
