Papers by Rimvydas Petrauskas
Table of Contents and Introduction to a recently published collection of essays. The book discusses narratives of ethnic origin in the Early Modern era and their political implications. Contributions cover the Baltic Sea region in its entirety: Poland, Prussia, Pomerania, Mecklenburg, Holstein, Denmark, Sweden, Muscovy, Livonia and Lithuania. Two concluding papers are dedicated to the pan-Baltic motif of a Wendish/Vandal heritage and the repercussions of early modern orgines gentium in 19th-century historism, using Samogitia as an example.
