This country is representative of the close relationship between historicism and nation-building in modern Europe. Tracing the fortunes of four pivotal figures from their own lifetimes to the present, this book uncovers how they each entered collective memory and came to play a key role in a national narrative of history. The analysis includes the foundation myth of Sigefroid and Melusine, the posthumous career of Countess Ermesinde and King John of Bohemia?s transformation into a national hero. Borrowing some of its theoretical framework from the study of lieux de mémoire , this wide-ranging book crosses disciplinary boundaries and addresses not only historical writing, but also literature, the visual arts, and popular culture. 410 0$aNational cultivation of culture ;$v3. 606 $aMelusine (Legendary character) 606 $aCollective memory$zLuxembourg 606 $aNationalism$zLuxembourg 607 $aLuxembourg$xHistoriography 607 $aLuxembourg$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aMelusine (Legendary character) 615 0$aCollective memory 615 0$aNationalism 676 $a949.35/01 700 $aPe?porte?$b Pit$01098917 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789722703321 996 $aConstructing the Middle Ages$93856075 997 $aUNINA
