Northern myths, modern identities : the nationalisation of northern mythologies since 1800 / edited by Simon Halink. Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2019] 1 online resource (273 pages). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier National cultivation of culture, 1876-5645 ; volume 19 Includes bibliographical references and index. This anthology of essays, Northern Myths, Modern Identities , explores the various ways in which ancient mythologies have been cultivated in the cultural construction of ethnic, national and supra-national identities from 1800 to the present. How were Old Norse, Finno-Ugric and Frisian myths employed as rhetorical devices in national narratives? And how did (and do) these new interpretations convey a sense of ‘northernness’? This volume approaches these issues from an interdisciplinary and international perspective, and brings together case studies from Scandinavia, the Baltic region, Friesland, Britain, the United States and even Japan. Thus, it provides a unique insight into the reception history and uses of northern myths in the present, and their role in the creation of modern identities.
