multidisciplinary Methods for Historical Analysis
2019 || Paperback || Thomas Coomans e.a. || Leuven University Press
The development of historical geographical information systems (HGIS) and other methods from the digital humanities have revolutionised historical research on cultural landscapes.

The opening up of increasingly divers...

Brokers of Modernity
east Central Europe and the Rise of Modernist Architects, 1910-1950
2019 || Paperback || Martin Kohlrausch || Leuven University Press
The first half of the twentieth century witnessed the rise of modernist architects. Brokers of Modernity reveals how East Central Europe turned into one of the pre-eminent testing grounds of the new belief system of modernism.

Heraldic Hierarchies
Identity, Status and State Intervention in Early Modern Heraldry
2021 || Paperback || Steven Thiry e.a. || Leuven University Press
Early modern heraldry was far from a nostalgic remnant from a feudal past. From the Reformation to the French Revolution, aspiring men seized on these signs to position themselves in a changing society, imbuing heraldic tradition with fresh meaning. Whereas post-medieval developments are all too often described in terms of decadence and stifling formality, recent studies rightly stress the dynamic capacity of bearing arms.
Heraldic Hierarchies aims to correct former misconceptions. Contributi...

Any engagement with history (including this book) is inherently situated within a historical framework. A comprehensi...
