Abstract: A key impulse of cultural transmission is engaging with the past for the benefit of the present. In 17 essays on subjects that range from Paschasius Radbertus to Orhan Pamuk, the Regularis Concordia to Kurt Weill, this book examines specific historical case studies that reveal the appropriation, modification or repudation of a legacy.
