Extreme North: A Cultural History

byBernd Brunner

Scholars and laymen alike have long projected their fantasies onto the great expanse of the global North, whether it be as a frozen no-man’s-land, an icy realm of marauding Vikings, or an unspoiled cradle of prehistoric human life. Drawing on archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, the narrative gives Extreme North a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the cultural history becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within history.
