“[M]any of [the essays] offer excellent treatment of particular
research questions and shed light on previously understudied
topics.”– Sebastian Rimestad, Ab Imperio
“This volume of collected essays offers an opportunity to
investigate key questions regarding imperial understandings of
faith, confessional divides and loyalties, and the relationship
between national culture and religion in a space less known to
historians of religion in Europe despite a rich specialist
historiography. It ventures beyond well-trodden concerns for Polish
Catholicism and Russian Orthodoxy to consider varied religious and
national identities in successive multi-ethnic states of central
and eastern Europe. … Collectively, these essays provide critical
insight into evolving, elite literature on national identity and
remind us of the important function that media plays in
disseminating and consolidating sentiment. … The volume’s assertion
of regional differences among Uniates as well as adherents of other
faiths is especially compelling. … [T]he diversity of expression is
readily apparent in the capable research of these experts.”–
