    Acta Historica Tallinnensia, 2020, 26, 79–102 https://doi.org/10.3176/hist.2020.1.04 ESTONIAN MODERN HISTORY IN THE TWENTY­FIRST CENTURY Karsten BRÜGGEMANNa and Bradley D. WOODWORTHb a Tallinna Ülikool, Humanitaarteaduste Instituut, Ajaloo, arheoloogia ja kunstiajaloo keskus, Narva mnt 25, 10120 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] b History Program, University of New Haven, 300 Boston Post Road, West Haven, CT 06516 USA; [email protected] This article presents a short overview of Estonian and international research on the nineteenth century in Estonia during the decades since the re­establishment of independence in 1991, with a focus on work published in the twenty­first century. The authors discuss the most important directions of re­ search – socioeco nomic history in rural and urban environments, Estonian nationalism and the devel­ opment of ethnic milieus of Baltic Germans and Russians, the history of Estonia as part of a larger empire and, albeit very briefly, also cultural history. The authors also identify a number of topics still in need of attention by scholars. For historians writing in European languages, the notion of writing about the nine­ teenth century as the period 1800 to 1900 has for several decades been supplanted by the argument that as a temporal framework, the period from the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789 to the outbreak of war in 1914 simply makes much more sense. Even for the present authors, writing about the historiography of a land which the first of these events did not immediately affect, it is a bit artificial to cut the “long nineteenth century” short since there is hardly any study on Estonian history that uses exactly the time frame from 1800 to 1900.1 For the purpose of this article, as requested by the editor, we nevertheless focus on this “arithmetic” period in order to avoid overlaps with the contributions in this special issue on early modern and twentieth century history.

  • Memories of Friends and Colleagues of Prof. Luďa Klusáková (1950–2020)
    Memories of Friends and Colleagues of Prof. Luďa Klusáková (1950–2020) Professor Luďa Klusáková worked at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, for more than 40 years and her endeavour significantly contributed to the forming of the Institute of Global History, its scientific and pedagogical accomplishments and expansion of international contacts. obituary Dozens of friends and colleagues share the memories of the professor; more texts in Czech are available in the article Vzpomínky přátel a kolegů na prof. Luďu Klusákovou (1950–2020). James S. Amelang (Departamento de Historia Moderna, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) Please receive my sympathy for the death of Luďa, whom I first met thanks to you and to our early participation in the various CLIOH projects. She always stood out for frankness and quick intelligence of her remarks, which were often less loudly spoken, yet made more sense than those made by the rest of us. Every time I saw her – not just at CLIOH, but also at meetings such as the memorable Urban History Conference she organized in Prague – she would ask about you and express her regret that a Spanish university had recruited you instead of a Czech one which she thought would be your natural destiny. Yet she also saw the positive side of your being away, in that you could serve as a bridge between your country and the outside world, acting as a channel of communication to which she paid much attention. Scholars as open-minded and generous like her are rare, and as a result, she will be all the more missed… Jean François Berdah (maître de conférences habilité, Université de Toulouse Jean Jaurès, Framespa) Letter to a dear friend Looking out of the window and at the hills around me, I can but remember the times when we crossed Gascony from village to village, visiting places and taking pictures, making the most of every single moment to capture the magic of this ancient province.

  • Friend Or Femme Fatale?: Olga Novikova in the British Press, 1877-1925
    FRIEND OR FEMME FATALE?: OLGA NOVIKOVA IN THE BRITISH PRESS, 1877-1925 Mary Mellon A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Louise McReynolds Donald J. Raleigh Jacqueline M. Olich i ABSTRACT MARY MELLON: Friend or Femme Fatale?: Olga Novikova in the British Press, 1877-1925 (Under the direction of Dr. Louise McReynolds) This thesis focuses on the career of Russian journalist Olga Alekseevna Novikova (1840-1925), a cosmopolitan aristocrat who became famous in England for her relentless advocacy of Pan-Slavism and Russian imperial interests, beginning with the Russo- Turkish War (1877-78). Using newspapers, literary journals, and other published sources, I examine both the nature of Novikova’s contributions to the British press and the way the press reacted to her activism. I argue that Novikova not only played an important role in the production of the discourse on Russia in England, but became an object of that discourse as well. While Novikova pursued her avowed goal of promoting a better understanding between the British and Russian empires, a fascinated British press continually reinterpreted Novikova’s image through varying evaluations of her nationality, gender, sexuality, politics and profession. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS FRIEND OR FEMME FATALE?: OLGA NOVIKOVA IN THE BRITISH PRESS, 1877-1925……………….…………...……………………….1 Introduction……………………………………………………………….1 The Genesis of a “Lady Diplomatist”…………………………………...11 Novikova Goes to War…………………………………………………..14 Novikova After 1880…………………………………………………….43 Conclusion……………………………………………………………….59 Epilogue: The Lady Vanishes..………………………………………….60 BIBLIOGRAPHY……………………………………………………………….63 iii The removal of national misunderstandings is a task which often baffles the wisdom of the greatest statesmen, and defies the effort of the most powerful monarchs.

  • German Historical Institute London Bulletin Vol 38 (2016)
    BOOK REVIEWS FIONA J. GRIFFITHS and JULIE HOTCHIN (eds.), Partners in Spirit: Women, Men, and Religious Life in Germany, 1100–1500, Medieval Wo - men: Texts and Contexts, 24 (Turnhout: Brepols, 2014), x + 430 pp. ISBN 978 2 503 54096 2. €100.00 This collection of essays is dedicated to the question of how men and women lived and worked together in medieval religious houses. This starting point may surprise some readers, given the common as - sumption that religious women in particular lived in strict enclosure and that men were not allowed to enter their convents, except, that is, for clerics who said mass for the women, spiritual fathers who heard their confessions and gave them pastoral guidance, and male relatives who had a special right to visit their sisters and daughters. All of which brings us directly to the heart of the matter. The issue addressed in this volume originates in the prohibition on women tak- ing higher orders and in the close connections between religious women and their secular relatives which arose not least from their financial affairs. Considering that cohabitation was a common and everyday situation in female monasteries and collegiate churches, the subject has hitherto received insufficient attention from researchers. Yet the problems of cohabitation, particularly the threat it posed to the women’s celibacy, were repeatedly addressed in medieval letters, hagiographical and historical texts, charters, sermons, visitation records, and the normative texts of monasticism, as Fiona J. Griffiths (New York) and Julie Hotchin (Canberra) show in their introduction (pp. 1–46). The volume gathers together essays which investigate the every- day routine of male–female relations within male and female monas- teries which were not double houses, using case studies from German-speaking Europe between the twelfth and the sixteenth cen- turies.

Political Results and Processes 39 Conclusion 50 Bibliography 54 1 Introduction “There never figured on the Courtly stage a female intriguer more restless, more arrogant, more mischievous, more ... odious and insufferable than this supercilious Ambassadress.”1 - The Times This fragment described Dorothea Lieven (Дарья Христофоровна Ливен, 1785- 1857), a nineteenth century figure. She was notorious in both Russia and Great Britain for a variety of reasons. Considering her reputation in 19th century diplomatic circles, it is surprising that Dorothea is not a well-known figure today. Her husband Christopher Andreyevich Lieven (Христофор Андреевич Ливен, 1774 – 1838) was the Russian ambassador to England and represented Russia in London between 1812 and 1834. Dorothea joined him in the move to England, where she established herself as a diplomatic force in the Russian embassy. Beside diplomatic involvement, she was a sensation in England’s high society and an esteemed patroness of Almack’s, London’s exclusive social club. Here she introduced the waltz in England in 1813. However, it is unlikely that the anonymous author from the Times would have described her as “mischievous” and “ supercilious” for introducing a dance to the ballrooms of English high society.

John Evans Baptist Minister and Schoolmaster (Voice of Richard Elfyn) I have gone through the apartments of the royal pavilion, and witnessed the recent improvements, but I dare not trust my pen on so delicate a subject.

This most splendid and beautiful apartment, Music: 0.58 presents a design, the most striking, involving the intricacies of invention from the minutest objects to the harmonised combinations of the whole. The walls of this apartment are divided into compartments, containing illustrations, of the manners and elegant costumes of the higher order of the Chinese people. These pictures possess great variety, and team with domestic episodes, which are familiar to us. This dome is constructed to represent an eastern sky, partially obscured by the broad and branching foliage of a luxuriant plantain tree. From its truncated centre, Chinese symbols depend, and characterise its apparent use, that of connecting it with the grand lustre, rising thirty feet and, assuming the shape of lotus flowers.
