Reviews for Imagined Communities on the Baltic Rim
"Communities in the medieval north: imagined, mapped, constructed, perceived. Fresh looks on old sources, a methodological milestone. But also a book with amazing stories and inciting examples - in short, a good read." Kurt Villads Jensen, Centre for Medieval Studies, Stockholm University
