Beskrivelse
In the 19th century, tales of gods, heroes, and monsters played a key role in shaping national identities. This period saw the emergence of modern European nations, believed to rise from ancient, forgotten pasts.
Exploring how pre-Christian myths influenced the creation of national communities in 19th-century Europe.
This interdisciplinary volume delves into the impact of pre-Christian mythologies on the development of national selfhood across Northern and Western Europe during the nineteenth century. It highlights how prominent cultural figures such as N. F. S. Grundtvig, Jacob Grimm, Jonás Halgrímsson, William Morris, Adam Oehlenschläger, and others acted as driving forces behind national discourses rooted in mythological traditions.
The book combines theoretical essays and detailed case studies to reveal how these cultural thinkers employed ancient mythologies as symbolic tools to construct a sense of national belonging. These myth-based narratives helped shape perceptions of national identity-many of which continue to influence us today.
