In The Story of Scandinavia, political scholar Stein Ringen
chronicles more than 1,200 years of drama, economic rise and fall,
crises, kings and queens, war, peace, language and culture.
Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of
collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual
War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian
countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the
game of being European powers, at the expense of their own
populations.The brand we now know as ",Scandinavia", is a recent
invention. During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to
some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity
have not been fully settled.Under the surface of collaboration
remain undercurrents of hatred, envy, contempt and pity. What does
it mean today to be Scandinavian? For the author, whose identity is
Scandinavian but his life European, this masterly history is a
personal exploration as well as a narrative of compelling scope.
