The official at the Einbúasetur. The biography of Grímur Jónsson. Compiled by Kristmundur Bjarnason.
Grímur Jónsson, the county magistrate, was one of the highest officials in Iceland in the first half of the 19th century and was widely present in Icelandic public life. However, he was also a loyal official who inspired the people's desire for autonomy. The story of Grímur is the story of Iceland in the last years of Danish monarchy, but also an informative account of a complex personality who had different sides. Scholar Kristmundur Bjarnason searches widely for clues in sources and uses letters and diaries to reveal the depths of people's souls. (Bókatíðindi 2008).
