In dieser Sammlung hat Sigmund von Birken diejenigen Gedichte zusammengeführt, die er von der Mitte der vierziger Jahre an bis 1681 für, auf oder im Auftrag von Personen des Hochadels geschrieben hat. Das Spektrum der Adressaten umfasst die kaiserliche Familie, Mitglieder des schwedischen Königshauses, mehrere Reichsfürsten und deren Angehörige sowie viele weitere Adelige. Anlässe waren Heiraten, Todesfälle, Reisen oder andere wichtige Ereignisse in diesem Personenkreis. Wie in den anderen Sammlungen dominiert auch in dieser die Allegorese; auch die für Birkens Dichtungen typische Bukolik spielt eine große Rolle. Die ständische Spezifik der Sammlung bewirkt intensive Bezugnahmen auf Mythos und geschichtliche Überlieferung sowie eine Rhetorik des Erhabenen. Den Deutungshorizont bestimmt wie in den anderen Sammlungen die lutherische Orthodoxie. Auch in dieser Sammlung herrscht eine große Vielfalt lyrischer Formen.

« Digne de mourir, comme inutile au monde » : c'est en ces termes que les archives ont conservé la trace de la condamnation à mort d'un valet déclaré coupable de vol, à Paris, en 1391. Cette sentence glacée conforte-t-elle la vision d'un Moyen Âge sanguinaire où la peine capitale aurait été fréquente ? Révèle-t-elle la puissance d'un roi qui affirme ainsi sa domination sur ses sujets, ou la dérive de l'Église qui ne considère plus que, selon l'enseignement de saint Augustin, le criminel peut être racheté ?Condamner à mort au Moyen Âge n'est pas un acte plus anodin qu'aujourd'hui, et si, en ces siècles de construction de la justice, la condamnation est un outil d'affirmation du pouvoir royal, ce n'est pas par sa nature coercitive ou arbitraire, mais par l'encadrement des juges et la pratique de la grâce. C'est là l'autre pan d'un Moyen Âge rénové que Claude Gauvard révèle depuis plusieurs décennies, avec cette volonté d'approcher au plus près, par un examen minutieux et clairvoyant de sources inédites, la cohérence d'une société médiévale qui nous apparaît à la fois étrangère et fondatrice

In the three or four decades before the first world war British industry was subject to increasing foreign competition particularly from America and Germany. Frequent complainets have been made both by contemporaries and by later students of the peiod that British industrialists were slow to meet this challenge. This provides an admirable background for a series of case studies of the major British industries, each one of which has been written by a recognised authority. The chief aim has been to review the main developments in ten industries during the period 1875-1914, paying particular attention to the way in which they were affected by foreign competation, and the measures taken to combat it. As far as possible an attempt has been made in each case to ascertain how progressive British industrialists were, that is to what extent they were willing to innovate or alter their methods to meet the new conditions. Wherever it can be shown that a lack of enterprise was evident, the authors have tried to determine what were the major factors which governed the pace of innocation. This is an important book since it covers a crucial period in Britain's economic history. No conscientious teacher or student of industrial history can afford to ignore it. Not only will it be of great interest to economists, economic historians, sociologists and the informed layman, but it should be made compulsory reading for businessmen and managers who are at present struggling anew with the problems of industrial innovation. They may both take comfort and derive useful lessons from these studies. The contributors to the book are: A.J. Taylor, Professor of History, University of Leeds; P.L. Payne, Senior Lecturer in Economic History, University of Glasgow; R.E. Tyson, Lecturer in Economic History, University of Aberdeen; E.M. Sigsworth, Reader in Economic History, University of York; J.M. Blackman, Lecturer in Economic History, University of Hull; P. Head, Principal Planning Officer, Staffordshire County Council; S.B. Saul, Professor Economic History, University of Edinburgh; I.C.R. Byatt, Lecturer in Economics, London School of Economic and Political Science; H.W. Richardson, Senior Lecturer in Economics, University of Aberdeen; T.C. Barker, Professor of Economic History, University of Kent; Derek H. Aldcroft, Lecturer in Economic History, University of Glasgow, who edits the volume.
