Wallenstein.: Mensch - Mythos - Memoria. (Historische Forschungen, 117)
»Wallenstein. Life, Legend and Legacy«
Following an interdisciplinary approach, the 28 essays in this volume focus on one of the most fascinating figures of the Thirty Years' Albrecht von Wallenstein. The everyday life during war and Wallenstein's role as a military contractor become as visible as the myth that the visual and performative arts, literature, music, film and contemporary marketing are continuously producing since the 17th century, forming this key figure of European history into an opalescent discourse phenomenon.
