商品簡介
Undergraduate and graduate students and scholars in northern literature will find this collection of articles fascinating, with topics ranging in time from the beginnings of the modern period onward and in space from the landscape to the imagination. Contributors address northern "time travel" in the form of European inventions of Nordic literature, the gothic tradition in the north, the geographical concepts, barbarians and hellions, Herder and the elements of the process of construction, traveling mythologies in the mid-eighteenth century, Danish material culture and imagination, and nationalist controversies about language. The collection of articles on encountering and experience the north are equally impressive, covering traveling between the mind and the material, vanishing accounts of Norway, masculinity from Lapland's travel guides, and cultural capital in Sweden.
