Mytologi

In late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British literature, Scandinavia emerged as a place where Gothic terror took place. This book explores the extensive use of Nordic superstition in providing a vocabulary for Gothic texts as well as the cultural significance it had for writers attempting to understand Britain's northern roots.
