In Princely Brothers and Sisters, Jonathan R. Lyon takes a fresh look at sibling networks and the role they played in shaping the practice of politics in the Middle Ages. Focusing on nine of the most prominent aristocratic families in the German kingdom during the Staufen period (1138–1250), Lyon finds that noblemen―and to a lesser extent, noblewomen―relied on the cooperation and support of their siblings as they sought to maintain or expand their power and influence within a competitive political environment. Consequently, sibling relationships proved crucial at key moments in shaping the political and territorial interests of many lords of the kingdom. Family historians have largely overlooked brothers and sisters in the political life of medieval societies. As Lyon points out, however, siblings are the contemporaries whose lives normally overlap the longest. More so than parents and children, husbands and wives, or lords and vassals, brothers and sisters have the potential to develop relationships that span entire lifetimes. The longevity of some sibling bonds therefore created opportunities for noble brothers and sisters to collaborate in especially potent ways. As Lyon shows, cohesive networks of brothers and sisters proved remarkably effective at counterbalancing the authority of the Staufen kings and emperors. Well written and impeccably researched, Princely Brothers and Sisters is an important book not only for medieval German historians but also for the field of family history.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Peter Huchel (Berlin/Groß-Lichterfelde 1903 - Staufen-en-Brisgau 1981) connaît la notoriété dès l'entre-deux-guerres. Directeur artistique à Radio-Berlin (Est) après la guerre, il dirige la revue Sinn und Form de 1945 à 1962. Limogé et assigné à résidence, il ne peut émigrer à l'Ouest qu'en 1971. Malmené par les crises de la modernité et l'histoire événementielle, il inscrit d'abord son malaise au coeur du paysage brandebourgeois. Mais, contrairement à d'autres et malgré un changement de paradigme après 1945, il n'abandonnera jamais l'enracinement dans le milieu naturel. À la croisée de problématiques anciennes et de souffles novateurs, sa poésie explore les rapports complexes qu'entretient l'écriture avec l'illusion lyrique propre à l'héritage du romantisme et le réel contingent. La double composante du réalisme magique illustre une réflexion polymorphe à la recherche d'un langage qui fonde une subjectivité critique et indépendante. Traumatismes engendrés par la guerre ou conflits avec le pouvoir et situation précaire de la poésie, rien ne se dit, chez Peter Huchel, sans le couvert de la métaphore. L'oeuvre occupe incontestablement une place de premier ordre dans l'histoire du lyrisme allemand du XXe siècle. 736 pp. Französisch, Deutsch
