Prefatory Note, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

This issue contains one of the three fine papers given at the annual meeting of the SAHS, held in Washington, D.C. on October 7, 1995, at the Embassy of Switzerland. The essay of the American cultural historian Professor H. Dwight Page of the University of Memphis, Tennessee, details the numerous and complex issues posed by the European Union to the Swiss polity. Ambassador Carlo Jagmetti attended the session and offered a thoughtful and appreciative response. Readers interested in Swiss affairs viewed within a European context will especially value Professor Page's incisive analysis.


Book Review: Geneva, Zurich, Basel: History, Culture And National Identity, Marion S. Miller Nov 1995

Book Review: Geneva, Zurich, Basel: History, Culture And National Identity, Marion S. Miller

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The idea of identity with Europe is central to the studies of the cities in the two volumes under review. As Carl Schorske suggests in his introduction to Geneva, Zurich, Basel: while Switzerland voted against European unity, these three cities, despite diverse but strong local identities, endorsed the unity concept when a referendum was undertaken in 1992. In a similar vein, James Cracraft, in an essay which surveys the historical background of Peter the Great' s rationale for the building of St. Petersburg in the eighteenth century, is hopeful that the city, reclaiming its original name after the demise of …

Book Review: Literary Freedom And Social Constraints In The Works' Of Gertrud Leutenegger., Laura Villiger

Swiss American Historical Society Review

In and around Switzerland Gertrud Leutennegger ranks among the wellknown contemporary Swiss writers. As yet, however, her work has not been translated and its reception has therefore been limited to German-speaking countries. Margrit Zinggeler' s study thus comes as a welcome introduction to Leutenegger' s writings that is designed for a general as well as specialized readership. As Zinggeler makes clear at the outset of her investigation, when Gertrud Leutenegger first started to write in the early 1970's, her artistic independence signaled a turning point in Swiss women writing. Luckily, the author has never since compromised her inner vision and …


The Crisis Of Switzerland On The Threshold Of The European Union, H. Dwight Page Nov 1995

The Crisis Of Switzerland On The Threshold Of The European Union, H. Dwight Page

Swiss American Historical Society Review

During the fifty years since the conclusion of World War II in 1945, Europe has undergone more radical changes than during the three preceding millennia. The Treaty of Maastricht, prepared by the twelve members of the European Community in December, 1991, legalizes a process of European social, economic and political unification and homogenization contradicting the evolution of European politics and societies since the fall of the Roman Empire. The majority of the nation states of Western Europe have been generated by a concerted struggle against amalgamation into large transnational empires. Notable examples are France, formed by the dissolution of its …

Swiss American Historical Society Review

On January 12, 1996, Hans Rudolf Guggisberg, professor emeritus of the University of Basel, died unexpectedly of a heart attack. On December 15, 1995, he had given his farewell lecture at the University in which he defined himself as a "student of history," as someone for whom personal as well as professional life was as much a process of continued learning as it was of teaching. He had specialized in the history of tolerance in the sixteenth century, especially as promoted by the theologian Sebastian Castellio (1515-1563) who had joined John Calvin at Strasbourg and Geneva; after theological disagreements with …
