Johns Hopkins University Press Literary Forgery in Early Modern Europe 14501800
Book SynopsisWhy was the Renaissance also the golden age of forgery?Forgery is an eternal problem. In literature and the writing of history, suspiciously attributed texts can be uniquely revealing when subjected to a nuanced critique. False and spurious writings impinge on social and political realities to a degree rarely confronted by the biographical criticism of yesteryear. They deserve a more critical reading of the sort far more often bestowed on canonical works of poetry and prose fiction. The first comprehensive treatment of literary and historiographical forgery to appear in a quarter of a century, Literary Forgery in Early Modern Europe, 14501800 goes well beyond questions of authorship, spotlighting the imaginative vitality of forgery and its sinister impact on genuine scholarship. This volume demonstrates that early modern forgery was a literary tradition in its own right, with distinctive connections to politics, Greek and Roman classics, religion, philosoTable of ContentsList of IllustrationsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction.

Bohlau Verlag Raub Und Rettung: Russische Museen im Zweiten
Book SynopsisDie Zerstörung von Kulturdenkmälern und das Ausrauben von Museen waren Teil des Vernichtungskrieges, den das nationalsozialistische Deutschland in der Sowjetunion führte. Hunderttausende von Objekten werden bis heute vermisst, viele Fragen sind unbeantwortet. Und doch fehlt das Verständnis für die immensen Zerstörungen und Verluste an russischen Kulturgütern im Zweiten Weltkrieg in Deutschland weitgehend.Erstmals wird in diesem Buch aus russischer und deutscher Sicht der NS-Kunstraub anhand von detaillierten Fallstudien beschrieben. Betrachtet werden die Zarenschlösser bei St. Petersburg sowie die Städte Pskov und Novgorod. Der Blick auf einzelne russische Museen erlaubt es, eine Geschichte der Kunst im Krieg zu erzählen. Neu erschlossenes Quellenmaterial gibt authentische Einblicke in das Kriegsgeschehen. So treten die Personen in den Vordergrund, die auf NS-Seite für Kunstschutz und Raub, auf sowjetischer Seite für die Rettung der Kunstsammlungen verantwortlich waren.
