History of the Literature of the Scandinavian North from the Most Ancient Times to the Present - Softcover
Scandinavian nations constitute together a branch that in early times became detached from the great folk-tree which we usually call the Gothic-G ermanic (or Teutonic) race. This branch embraces the inhabitants of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and I celand. The latter belongs, though merely in a political sense, toD enmark. In the following review of the intellectual life of these nations, as it has, in the course of time, found expression in literature, we propose to consider the inhabitants of the four countries named collectively, although they at the present time, not only in politics, but also in many other respects, possess strongly marked national individualities, and differ one from the other in many things. We feel justified in so doing for the reason that they, in spite of differences, and in spite of all the feuds and conflicts that have divided them in the past, still in reality constitute a unity, which, quite unlike the other European peoples, even those which are most nearly related to one another, has acquired to the close observer a common physiognomy. They are sisternations, which, with the changes that time has wrought, have in some respects been developed each in her own peculiar manner.
