About This Item
Minnesota 2000. Here, Icelands premier historian chronicles the age of the sagas, consulting them to describe an era without a central authority. Equating this prosperous time with the golden age of antiquity, he marks a correspondence between the Dark Ages of Europe and Icelands dreary period, which started with the loss of political independence in the late 13th century and culminated with an epoch of poverty. Karlsson also traces the rise of nationalism, as Icelands poor peasants broke with Denmark, while also demonstrating how 20th century Iceland has slowly caught up economically with its European neighbors. An outstanding, comprehensive survey of Icelands fascinating history. , English, Year2000, Illust. B/W40, Illust. Color, ISBN 0816635897, Code 4023. RETAIL ONLY.. Softbound, In Pristine Condition, Index. Bibl. Pages 418, Size 5 1/2x 8 1/2
