I GUDS NAMN 1000-1800 BAND 1 (In the Name of God 1000-1800 Volume1). Nordisk Kvinnolitteraturhistoria/ Nordic Women Literature History

Sweden 1993. An impressive, voluminous book devoted to Nordic women writers and their views of home in either Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, or Iceland. Even if each Nordic country has had its own historic evolution, a fundamental unity, or a “Nordic identity,” is part of most Nordic people’s consciousness. Many female authors have felt isolated within their own countries, but have discovered alliances with fellow female writers throughout the greater Scandinavia. In this collection of writing, certain motifs, themes, and aesthetic patterns come to light which, together, comprise this unique Nordic style. Chapters include: literary sagas, songs to Virgin Mary, witchcraft confessions, biographies of religious figures, and writings of famous Nordic women, such as Charlotta Dorothea Biehl, Queen Christina of Denmark, Sophia Elisabeth Brenner, and many more. , Swedish, Year1993, Illust.
