  • Sigurður Gylfi Magnússon’s Emotional Experience and Microhistory, which explores the life and death of Magnús Hj. Magnússon through his diary, poetry, and other writing showing how best to use the methods of microhistory to address complicated historical situations.
  • Maíra Ines Vendrame’s Power in the Village: Social Networks, Honor and Justice among Immigrant Families from Italy to BrazilPower in the Village explores the formation of late-nineteenth-century Italian rural society in southern Brazil, through an examination of how Italian peasants in northern Italy and southern Brazil solved issues related to family honor.
  • Dániel Bárth’s The Exorcist of Sombor is currently available for pre-order, as it is expected to be published on the 8th of July. The Exorcist of Sombor examines the life course, practice and mentality of an eighteenth-century Franciscan friar, based on his own letters and documentation, creating a frame around the tightly packed history of events that took place between 1766-1769 and analyzing the series of exorcism scandals that erupted in the Hungarian town of Sombor, from the perspectives of social history and cultural history.
