Using the great south-Italian monastery of San Vincenzo al Volturno, one of the best preserved monasteries of the earliest Middle Ages, as a case-study and heuristic paradigm, John Mitchell has engaged in a wide-ranging examination of the ways in which visual culture was developed and deployed by ambitious states and institutions in early medieval Europe. The present volume includes studies on the cultural dynamics of Italy and its contribution to the visual complexion of Europe in the period, as well as essays on many aspects of the artistic culture of San Vincenzo, including a series of papers on the display of script in the physical fabric of the monastery and the prominent role it played in its self-image.

What if the myths about vampires had a real origin? Legacy (blood Bond, #1) Ivan could not have known that one day the strange family inheritance would knock at his door and that, what he believed to be his grandfather's ravings, contained a bond beyond blood, beyond family, beyond time. What to do with a legacy in the form of an ancestor more than 3,000 years old? Velkan woke up in a new century, in a new society, with a new family, but with the same bloodlust, an instinct that kept him alive since he was born and that even Van Helsing could not defeat. Tired of seeing how all his life they had killed and desecrated the bodies of his family because of his nature, tired of the struggles for his protection, unable to see himself loved and fed up of being called a monster, strigoi, vampire or dracul, he decided to put an end to his existence, without getting it. When Velkan and Ivan meet, something more than the inherited family bond is created between them and they begin to trust each other. Velkan will tell you about his time in history by telling you about the age of metals in which he was born, about Vlad III, the Impaler, and will show you what really happened in London in the years of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Will Velkan finally be able to find his place? Can he stop them from thinking he's a vampire? An original and different revision of the legends of vampires, the folklore that exists about them and archaeology, a twist on the myth that will surprise you.

Howard Cox discovered a secluded place in the year 1000 which he named White Valley. White Valley has had its own Royal family who ruled here from the year 1005 to about the year 1322. It was the Whitebeard family that ruled here for generations. There were many intrigues and terrible fights for power and for the money that was in the king's vault in the Mount Fort Castle, that once was built by the citizens for the king and his successors. In addition to all the bloody fights for power, this book is also about King Harold Whitebeard's beautiful daughter, Princess Isabella. She would one day take over from him. King Harold, of course, had wished for a son, but his wife Matilda gave him only one daughter. It so happened that he finally came to worship his beautiful daughter. She was not only beautiful but also very intelligent and very fair and kind. She did have a major impact on White Valley's development and future. It was much bigger than anyone ever could have imagined in advance. This book is also about a lot of other characters that were living in White Valley during her’s and her parent’s time. Isabella lived her life not only in the castle but her tragic experiences also led her to live in other places in White Valley, where she discovered her biggest love. He saved her from the greatest villains in the early 14th century. Her love story played the biggest role in White Valley's political life. One can say that White Valley has been a part of Princess Isabella’s heart and her greatest love and passion. If it had not been for her, White Valley's history would have been very different.

A multitude of books have been written about both the horrors and the heroes of World War II. Legacy of Hope: Hidden Heroes from Generation to Generation, though similar in general topic as some of those other World War II books, is also uniquely different. Legacy of Hope tells the story—both from a historical viewpoint and a personal one—of two seldom honored heroes of that era, an orthodox priest and a humble but highly revered rabbi, both of whom courageously and repeatedly put their lives on the line to save the Jewish population of Bulgaria.

There has been a tendency to view the history of the Balkans as essentially determined by historical legacies. Whether in scholarly literature or in popular discourse, the Ottoman or Habsburg pasts are thought to be accountable for a large variety of phenomena ranging from democratic culture (or the lack thereof) and adaptability to a free market economy to nepotism and the filthiness of public facilities. By contrast, the papers in this volume demonstrate that "legacies" are not unchanging determinants. Instead, they are very much open to constant reinterpretations and re-assessments depending on conditions in the present; they are, in short, as much shaped by the present as they are by the past.

Italian Americans on Screen: Challenging the Past, Re-Theorizing the Future reconsiders Robert Casillo’s definition of Italian-American cinema as “appl[ying] to works by Italian-American directors who treat Italian-American subjects” to expand this classification. Contributors situate Italian-American cinema and media within the contemporary and intersectional debates about ethnic identity, including race, class, gender, and sexuality studies. This book links past scholarship to theoretical underpinnings with new hermeneutical approaches in television and film to establish new interpretations concerning Italian Americans on screen. Scholars of film studies, media studies, cultural studies, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.

Venetian artistic giants of the sixteenth century, such as Giorgione, Vittore Carpaccio, Titian, Jacopo Sansovino, Jacopo Tintoretto, Paolo Veronese, and their contemporaries, continued to shape artistic development, tastes in collecting, and modes of display long after their own practices ended. The robust reverberation of the Venetian Renaissance spread far beyond the borders of the lagoon to inform and influence artists, authors, and collectors who spent very little or even no time in Venice proper. The Enduring Legacy of Venetian Renaissance Art investigates the historical resonance of Venetian sixteenth-century art and explores its afterlife and its reinvention by artists working in its shadow. Despite being a frequently acknowledged truism, the pervasive legacy of Venetian sixteenth-century art has not received comprehensive treatment in recent publication history. The broad scope of the topics covered in these essays, from Titian's profound influence on the development of landscape painting to the effects of Carpaccio's historical paintings on early twentieth-century fashion, illustrates the persistence and adaptability of the Venetian Renaissance's legacy. In addition to analyzing the effects of individual artists on each other, this volume offers insight into the shifting characterizations and reception of Venice as a center for artistic innovation and inspiration throughout the early modern period, providing a nuanced and multifaceted view of the singular lagoon city and its indelible imprint on the history of art.

János S. Petőfi (1931-2013) was one of the founders of Text Linguistics in Germany in the early ‘70s. He developed different text models, the most famous of which were the Text Structure World Structure Theory (TeSWeST) and Semiotic Textology. In this volume, some of his colleagues and disciples discuss his theoretical contributions to prove the enormous impact of his thoughts in the fields of linguistics, literary theory, rhetoric and semiotics. The essays here consider the notion of coherence, which Petőfi deemed to be the only sufficient condition for textuality, the relationships between his textual models and disciplines such as cognitive, computational and corpus linguistics, and his contributions to the analysis of literary and multimedial texts.
