Auch der vormoderne Mittel- und Nordeuropäer ist als "homo ludens" vorzustellen. So begegnen uns verschiedenste Spiele sportliche Disziplinen im Germanischen und Keltischen in mannigfacher Funktion als literarisches Motiv in fiktionalen Texten und als mythologische Chiffre. Spielverbote sind für die Rechtsgeschichte einschlägig. Reichhaltiges archäologisches Material dokumentiert diesen kulturellen Bereich auch realhistorisch.Die im vorliegenden Band versammelten Aufsätze ergründen das Phänomen "Spiel und Sport" in seinen philologischen, archäologischen, kunsthistorischen sowie kultur- und sozialgeschichtlichen Bezügen. Der behandelte Zeitraum reicht von der Erwähnung des Würfelspiels bei Tacitus über die höfische Falknerei bis zur Spielkultur im schwedischen Bergmannsmilieu des 17. Jahrhunderts. Das Themenspektrum umfasst Würfel- und Brettspiele, die ritterlichen septem probitates, (Beiz-)Jagd, Ballspiele, Kampfkunst, Pferdekämpfe und Bootswettfahrten.

Nineteenth-century paleontologists boasted that, shown a single bone, they could identify or even reconstruct the extinct creature it came from with infallible certainty-"Show me the bone, and I will describe the animal!" Paleontologists such as Georges Cuvier and Richard Owen were heralded as scientific virtuosos, sometimes even veritable wizards, capable of resurrecting the denizens of an ancient past from a mere glance at a fragmentary bone. Such extraordinary feats of predictive reasoning relied on the law of correlation, which proposed that each element of an animal corresponds mutually with each of the others, so that a carnivorous tooth must be accompanied by a certain kind of jawbone, neck, stomach, limbs, and feet. Show Me the Bone tells the story of the rise and fall of this famous claim, tracing its fortunes from Europe to America and showing how it persisted in popular science and literature and shaped the practices of paleontologists long after the method on which it was based had been refuted. In so doing, Gowan Dawson reveals how decisively the practices of the scientific elite were-and still are-shaped by their interactions with the general public.

In 1660 the four nations of the British Isles were governed by one imperial crown but by three parliaments. The abolition of the Scottish and Irish Parliaments in 1707 and 1800 created a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland centred upon the Westminster legislature. What did the making of the monolith mean for the four nations? Did conceptions of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh identities flourish, change or wither as a consequence to the growth of the imperial Parliament and to what extent did Parliament help or hinder a developing sense of Britishness as a new nationality? The groundbreaking essays in this volume, all based on extensive original research, address these questions from an unusually wide variety of perspectives, showing how the parliaments at Dublin, Edinburgh and, especially, Westminster, were seen and used in very different ways by people from very different communities. Parliament may have been conceived as a repository of 'the' national interest, but in practice it was the site of four national and multiple cross-national identities. This fascinating book is a major contribution to the history of the forging of the United Kingdom and national identity and will be essential reading for all undergraduates of history and politics.
