Biography across the Digitized Globe

Brill has just published Biography across the Digitized Globe: Essays in Honour of Hans Renders, a book dedicated to the founder of the Biography Institute at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, which also includes a study by Jana Wohlmuth Markupová, who has long collaborated with the Institute.

The essay is entitled Traces and Clues in a Fairytale: Research Based on a "Weird" Historical Source and focuses on the possibilities and limits of using the fairy tale that Hugo Vavrečka gave to his grandson Ivan M. Havel in March 1945 in historical and biographical research. This is already the second text by Jana Wohlmuth Markupová in the Biography Studies series, on whose editorial board she is also a new member, together with Prof. Renders and Dr. David Veltman.
