This book is available in Open Access thanks to the generous support of the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań Defining the Identity of the Younger Europe launches an eye-opening journey into emerging cultures and civilizations of the “Younger Europe” — Byzantine-Slavic and Scandinavian territories — from the fall of Constantinople (1453) to the dawn of the Industrial Age. Defining the Identity of the Younger Europe gathers studies that shed new light on the rich tapestry of early modern “Younger Europe” — Byzantine-Slavic and Scandinavian territories. It unearths the multi-dimensional aspects of the period, revealing the formation and transformation of nations that shared common threads, the establishment of political systems, and the enduring legacies of religious movements. Immersive, enlightening, and thought-provoking, the book promises to be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the complexities of early modern Europe. This collection does not just retell history; it provokes readers to rethink it.
