The Kingdom of Rus
As scholarship continues to expand the idea of medieval Europe beyond \"the West,\" the Rus' remain the final frontier relegated to the European periphery. Examining a wide range of medieval sources, and through an innovative analysis of medieval titles, The Kingdom of Rus' challenges the perception of Rus' as an eastern \"other\" - advancing the idea of the Rus' as a kingdom deeply integrated with medieval Europe.

Reimagining Europe : Kievan Rus' in the Medieval world
An overriding assumption has directed scholarship in both European and Slavic history: that Kievan Rus' was part of a Byzantine commonwealth separate from Europe. Raffensperger refutes this, and offers a new frame for two hundred years of history, in which Rus' is understood as part of medieval Europe, and East is not so neatly divided from West.

The Ruling Families of Rus
A new history of the Kyivan Rus, a medieval dynastic state in eastern Europe. Kyivan Rus' was a state in northeastern Europe from the late ninth to the mid-sixteenth century that encompassed a variety of peoples, including Lithuanians, Polish, and Ottomans. The Ruling Families of Rus explores the region's history through local families, revealing how the concept of family rule developed over the centuries into what we understand as dynasties today. Examining a broad range of archival sources, the authors examine the development of Rus, Lithuania, Muscovy, and Tver and their relationships with the Mongols, Byzantines, and others. The Ruling Families of Rus will appeal to scholars interested in the medieval history of eastern Europe.
