Theo-politics of the Hussite Movement: From Reform to Revolution

This intellectual history of the dissident Hussite reform movement in early 15th century Bohemia explains the process of Hussite radicalization, which led to their overthrow of secular and religious structures in the so-called „first European revolution“. It does this by discovering the political relevance of diverse heterodox leaders and the discourses they adapted into mobilizing calls to conflict. As such, the work represents a reimagining of the Hussite revolution which emphasizes the symbolic worldview of its agents. This includes an appreciation of the Hussite debt to unexpected traditions of thought, and of the movement’s participation in innovative visions of theo-political order.

Conflict after Compromise: Regulating Tensions in Multi-Confessional Societies in the Fifteenth Century

The historians in this volume focus precisely on this disfunction or unsustainability of compromise. The starting point is Bohemian history in the fifteenth century.

This volume uses selected examples to show the advantages of such a comparative perspective.

Marxism and Medieval Studies: Marxist Historiography in East Central Europe

This volume is a unique publication as it examines the Marxist attitudes in East Central European historiography and archaeology for the first time, with an emphasis on the co-existence of Marxist and other methodologies between the 1950s and 1970s in the local historiographies in question. Its approach is to distinguish between pseudo-Marxism as an ideological tool on the one hand, and Marxism in the form of historical materialism as a way to interpret the medieval world on the other.
