EDITORIAL STATEMENT:
The purpose of this series is to provide a publication avenue for studies on medieval East Central and Eastern Europe, an area of great interference and symbiosis of influences from Scandinavia, Western Europe, the steppe lands of Eurasia, as well as Byzantium. The series will be a forum for scholarly work—original monographs, article collections, editions of primary sources, translations—on a vast area of the European continent and on its impact on European history from the fall of the Hunnic empire of Attila to the fall of Constantinople. The intention is to move away from the old notion that there is a readily predictable and direct correlation between such factors as Western influence, its nature and impact, the development and expression of cultural identities, the social and political developments associated with the rise of the state, and the conversion to Christianity. Rather, this series will encourage research suggesting interaction between internal and external factors, and the diversity of the local responses to external stimuli. Its purpose is to demonstrate that there is a need to take into account regional variation as well as changes through time. More important, it raises the question of what, if anything, could account for the presumed “lateness of development” in the region, as compared to similar phenomena in the West. What are the differences between contemporary economic and social structures in the West and in the East? Can specific features in East Central Europe be explained in terms of lack of consistency in, or even absence of, structural developments as known from the West? Did Christianity, as an “imported ideology,” contribute to the adjustment of social and political institutions in the East to a “Western model”? Were “Western structures” imported into Eastern Europe and, if so, what was the native response? Can the peculiarities of East European history in the Middle Ages explain the late development of the region in subsequent centuries? Did Eastern Europe follow a Sonderweg responsible for its late incorporation into “Europe” and the current lack of interest in its medieval history? Themes to be considered in this series include the economic and social structures of early medieval Europe, with an emphasis on less studied aspects such as pastoralism and transhumance; the so-called “service settlements”; the rise of the manorial system in East Central Europe; “feudalism” in Eastern Europe; or the rise of cities. Issues of religious conflict and co-existence along the invisible line dividing Catholic from Orthodox Europe; the conversion to Christianity or to Judaism (in the case of the Khazars); the impact of the crusades on Eastern Europe; heresies; Catholic and Orthodox monasticism medieval art in Eastern Europe will also be in the focus of the series. The purpose is to bring together studies rooted in diverse disciplines, including archaeology, anthropology, art history, history, religious and literary studies. At the same time, the series seeks to promote a comparative approach to the history of the region, encouraging comparisons between West and East, as well as between various areas within the region. The series may include translations from Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, or Russian works. As such, the series will advance the revision of old works either on the entire area (such as those of Francis Dvornik and Jean Sedlar) or on certain sub-regions (such as John Fine’s monographs on the medieval Balkans). A series on East Central and Eastern Europe between 450 and 1450 may be viewed as a counterpart to existing Brill series, such as the Medieval Mediterranean, the Medieval Iberian Peninsula, and the Northern World.
