The book deals with the Slovene historiography and history of the Slovene and neighbouring territories in the Middle Ages. It is the first work of its kind published in English. It thus makes the medieval history of this part of Europe and some of its fundamental problems accessible to the widest range of researchers. It contains 18 papers which comply with modern methodological approaches and current trends in historiography and it puts the validity and usefulness of these methods to the test in the case of ?Slovene ? material and examples. The first part of the book critically examines Slovene historiography, which largely viewed the Middle Ages from a national angle. The second part is dedicated to early medieval history, focussing on issues of Slavic ethnogeneses, society, and political structures. The third part addresses chapters from the history of the Church, the nobility, and the formation of Lnder , and also discusses the famous enthronement of the Carinthian dukes.

Stih sets out to bust the myth of the continuity of Slovenian culture from the Dark Ages through to modern times. The idea of Slovenia is a modern creation and first emerging in the 16th Century. This book does not cover the modern era and stops in the High Middle Ages and attempts to describe the rich and mixed early history of the region. Slovenia is a land where Lombard, Frankish, Avar and Slav cultures intermingled. In this land Slav peoples came to predominate, but its politics and ruling elite was dominated by the supremacy of the Franks and eventually the Habsburgs.
The Slovenian Slavs were not one people. Stih identifies two different Slav groupings - the Carantanian Slavs (now in modern-day southern Austria) with northern origins; and the Carniolan Slavs with South Slav origins. Furthermore, these Slavic groups mixed with remnants of the original ancient population and would have also had a mixing with their Avar overlords. It was noted that the Carantanian Slavs were never in the Avar sphere of influence.
There was extensive interaction between the Carniolan Slavs and the Lombards in Fruili, Trieste and Istria. The defeat of the Avars at the end of the 8th century created new internal political tensions that resulted in a revolt of local lords against increasing Frankish political control leading to the replacement of many local lords with Frankish ones. In time Frankish influence would expand here at the expense of Lombard influence and relegate Slavic influences to just the local level..
Modern Slovenians make a point of an enthronement ceremony of the Carantanian duke by a peasant as evidence that early Slavic culture persisted into later times and was respected by existing authorities. It was further taken as a sign of lasting democratic qualities that survived into the modern era. Stih did not find much evidence to support the ceremony taking place or that it had the importance attributed to it.
The emergence of the modern Slovenian nation is not touched on here. (
