About This Item
Ottawa, ON: Carleton University Press, 1996. Paperback. Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; spine straight and uncreased; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; As Icelandic immigrants settled the Canadian prairie toward the end of the last century, one of their most valuable possessions - an ancient and dynamic literary heritage - began to transform their experience of the new landscape. Neijmann traces the survival into modern Canadian writing of symbols deriving from Nordic saga, myth and poetry, and explains their endurance with fluency and precision. This book lays a groundwork for future comparative research in the field of ethnic-Canadian studies.
