In Shaping Heroic Virtue , eight scholars from different fields of the humanities explore the reception of this notion within a broad range of artistic, political and religious contexts and map its enduring importance in the self-fashioning of monarchs and political elites. The case studies included in the volume span from Late Antiquity to the 18th century and include material from different parts of Europe, with a particular emphasis on Scandinavia. Contributors include Erik Eliasson, Stefano Fogelberg Rota, Andreas Hellerstedt, Kristine Kolrud, Jennie Nell, Nils Holger Petersen, Tania Preste and Biörn Tjällén.Brill's Studies in Intellectual History249.VirtueHistoryHeroesMiddle AgesElectronic books.VirtueHistory.Heroes.Middle Ages.179/.9Fogelberg Rota Stefano1034769Hellerstedt Andreas1034770NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910480285403321Shaping heroic virtue2454098UNINA
