The focus of this book is the unique socio-political and socio-cultural community of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the golden age of the late fifteenth to early seventeenth century. This study analyses the cultural and political impact of the values disseminated in the newly created state, such as the concept of the state itself, its governance, representation, laws, and other elements of the socio-political system.

Through theoretical and factographic arguments, this book demonstrates that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was a social, political, and cultural link between geopolitical and geo-cultural spaces of the Roman West and the Byzantine East. Located at the cultural crossroads of Europe, Lithuania was an ethnically diverse, multilingual, multi-faith, multicultural national space. Nurtured by international contacts, its political system developed rapidly, influencing the formation of geopolitical and geo-cultural mentality of the whole Central Eastern European region.

Industry Reviews

"Jurate Kiaupiene, a historian known for [her] scholarship on the Baltic region and east-central Europe, has written a comprehensive and detailed history of the political development of Lithuania from the mid-fifteenth to the mid-seventeenth centuries. [Her] description and persuasive analysis are based on a wide range of primary sources and expert use of the existing literature. ... The principal contribution of this learned, richly detailed treatise lies largely in its ability to show how, over the course of two centuries, disparate political elites with diverse interests, religions, and cultures built a state. ... The book should stand for some time as the most thorough account of the emergence of early modern Lithuania."

-Martin O. Heisler, University of Maryland, Hiperboreea
