Nils Blomkvist discusses how the Baltic Rim was initially
Europeanized between 1075 and 1225 AD. He compares the indigenous
civilisations to the prevailing western European one. After the
expansive Viking period, European penetration became a process of
discovery.
The importance of the Catholic Reform movement and its
unintentional ties to the formation of an endurable commodity
market are outlined. Clashes and compromises are investigated in
case studies of the Kalmarsund region, Gotland and the Daugava
valley. Dissimilar cases of state formation are compared: those of
Sweden and Livonia.
Many classical scholarly problems are revisited. A new approach to
the period's narrative sources brings to life Scandinavian, German,
Russian, Finno-Ugrian and Baltic attitudes and day-to-day concern
in the midst of a change of epic dimensions.
