add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the literary and artistic movement in Iceland. The growth of the movement began with Iceland's struggle for political freedom more than a century ago. A group of young enthusiasts of the 1840's helped arouse the national artistic consciousness and started to purify the Icelandic language and the Icelandic thought from Danish influence. The works of the young Icelandic writers, poets, and artists is rousing interest and enthusiasm over all Northern Europe, and the little island is on her way to winning back at least a part of the position of preeminence which she held in Viking days, when she was the artistic center of the Scandinavian world.
