Icel&, Greenl&, Northern Norway, & the Faroe Islands lie on the edges of Western Europe, in an area long portrayed by travellers as remote & exotic--its nature harsh, its people reclusive. Since the middle of the eighteenth century, however, this marginalized region has gradually become part of modern Europe, a transformation that is narrated in Karen Oslund`s Iceland Imagined. This cultural & environmental history sweeps across the dramatic North Atlantic landscape, exploring its unusual geography, saga narratives, language, culture, & politics, & analyzing its emergence as a distinctive & symbolic part of Europe.
