Aprašymas
How should we understand the rediscovered national epics such as the Lay of the Nibelungs, the Tale of Igor's Campaign and the Kalevala? Were they simply monuments of the national past, or did new ideas about their meanings and possible roles emerge in the nineteenth century as an interconnected European phenomenon? If so, how did these connections work and why do they still matter today? Drawing on examples from Slavic literatures, music and the arts, the book shows how national epics helped shape modern European cultural identities - and why they remain symbols of enduring controversies that continue to demand memory work.
Contributors are: Tamás Berkes, Jean Boutan, Olga Čadajeva, Anna Cavazzoni, Mark-Georg Dehrmann, Dalibor Dobiás, Andraz Jez, Michal Kuziak, Pavla Machalíková, Aleksandar Pavlovic, and Aleksandra Wojda.
