Academics, and indeed the world at large, is quickly becoming obsessed with ideas of kinship, adaptation and of course, community. The pandemic has created feelings of companionship, the idea that \u2018we\u2019re all in this together\u2019, however true, or untrue, that might be. Though this may be a tired theme (one would be forgiven for rolling their ideas at another \u2018team building\u2019 Zoom based exercise) it is still important and as true today as it was in the past. Community is what makes us human, what makes us successful, and visions of gathering around a fire to re-tell a traditional tale, or a recount new one that happened that very day, is as alive and kicking as it was in the Antebellum South, Transylvania and Ancient Greece, as we shall see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-purple-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cf627550a230da4eb9be94881d8407f3\">The papers you will find in this journal tackle issues as significant as the birth of a nation, to one as intimate as local viniculture. You will be persuaded on the community spirit of bees and banding together against the rising dead of Transylvania. You will discover how art can create identity and books can influence a region\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-purple-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-24da040b12c804f08e53024d196be457\">And above all, the significance of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-purple-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-210da00d1febbb923c5ac23a114296da\">Katherine Waugh (General Editor), k.waugh3@newcastle.ac.uk<br>Harriet Palin (History Editor), h.palin1@newcastle.ac.uk<br>Eleanor Harrison (Archaeology Editor), e.harrison2@newcastle.ac.uk<br>Jerome Ruddick (Classics Editor), J.M.L.Ruddick2@newcastle.ac.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s in this edition\u2026 _________________________________ Case Studies: Changing Communities Joseph Gascoigne,&nbsp;Paradise Lost?
