Texts and interpretation. Articles on Icelandic studies. By Svein Yngva Egilsson.
The book explores Icelandic cultural heritage and its international connections in a variety of ways. Individual literary works, text types and authors are examined, but there are also articles on recent scholarly works that offer debates on specific areas of Icelandic culture. Methods and concepts such as rhetoric, figurative language interpretation, artistic wholeness, textual relations, psychoanalysis and theories of space in poetry are tested. The articles provide insight into Icelandic literary history from the Reformation to the present day, but the focus of the book is a discussion of 19th-century Romanticism and its influence on younger literature.
