European Studies is published several times a year. Each issue is dedicated to a specific theme falling within the broad scope of European Studies. Contributors approach the theme from a wide range of disciplinary and, particularly, interdisciplinary perspectives. The Editorial board welcomes suggestions for other future projects to be produced by guest editors. In particular, European Studies may provide a vehicle for the publication of thematically focused conference and collo- quium proceedings. Editorial enquiries may be directed to the series executive editor. Subscription details and a list of back issues are available from the pub- lisher’s web site: www.rodopi.nl. Draft versions of the chapters were presented at a conference in Farfa, near Rome, in October 2010. We wish to thank the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond) for funding the conference and the international research network AntCath for their kind support. CONTENTS
