The Age of Information. A selection from the literature of the 18th century. Compiled by Víkingur Kristjánsson and Þorfinnur Skúlason.
This is the most comprehensive collection of Icelandic texts from the 18th century ever published. The Information Age is one of the most transformative periods in Icelandic cultural history. It is where the roots of the 19th century and the mighty awakening that made Icelanders a modern nation lie. Therefore, knowledge of the culture and intellectual life of the 18th century is essential for everyone to understand the history of later times. Here are many of the main pearls of our literature and scholarship, but the book ends with Afterwords of the 18th Century by Magnús Stephensen. (Bókatíðindi 2000).
