Terrorism Before the Letter - Mythography Political Violence in England, Scotland, France 1559

Zusatztext ...this is a book to make historians think. His stated goals are to push critical terrorism studies towards a richer engagement with literary analysis, and to provide contemporary debates with a sense of how vested Western culture has been in the imaginary of terrorism (p. 27). But his book deserves to stimulate historiographical debate, not only about violence, terrorism and writing, but also about the possibility of transnational comparative approaches to the darker passages of the European past.
