Making Nordic Historiography

Connections, Tensions and Methodology, 1850-1970

Herausgeber: Haapala, Pertti; Larsson, Simon; Jalava, Marja

Beschreibung

Is there a "Nordic history"? If so, what are its origins, its scope, and its defining features? In this informative volume, scholars from all five Nordic nations tackle a notoriously problematic historical concept. Whether recounting Foucault's departure from Sweden or tracing the rise of movements such as "aristocratic empiricism," each contribution takes a deliberately transnational approach that is grounded in careful research, yielding rich, nuanced perspectives on shifting and contested historical terrain.
