This book covers two fields of research. The first part of the
volume includes essays authored by Polish, German, Czech, and
Ukrainian archeologists and historians on the genesis and unique
nature of the roads whereby Christianization proceeded in Polish
lands in the early Middle Ages in the context of the kindred
processes underway especially from the 10th century in neighboring
lands. The second part of this publication includes considerations
on the politics of memory as applied to the beginnings of statehood
in Poland and Kievan Rus'. Chosen examples reveal the uniqueness
and the evolution of various politics of memory related to the
founding myths of statehood in modern Poland, Russia, and Ukraine.
This groundbreaking comparative history of the early centuries of
Bohemia, Hungary and Poland sets the development of each polity in
the context of the central European region as a whole. Focusing on
the origins of the realms and their development in the eleventh and
twelfth centuries, the book concludes with the thirteenth century
when significant changes in social and economic structures
occurred. The book presents a series of thematic chapters on every
aspect of the early history of the region covering political,
religious, economic, social and cultural developments, including an
investigation of origin myths that questions traditional national
narratives. It also explores the ways in which west European
patterns were appropriated and adapted through the local
initiatives of rulers, nobles and ecclesiastics in central Europe.
An ideal introduction to the essential themes in medieval central
European history, the book sheds important new light on regional
similarities and differences.
