This edited volume foregrounds new and vital scholarship shaping Scandinavian art historical research on the representations of the natural world.

This edited volume foregrounds new and vital scholarship shaping Scandinavian art historical research on the representations of the natural world.

Contributors deconstruct the interlinking of people and land through critical readings of the Scandinavian representation of nature, bringing to the fore how the traditional focus on the landscape as a manifestation of temperament has tended to obfuscate critical approaches to the representation of the landscape. Making interdisciplinary connections, this volume redresses the imbalance in scholarship on the region that often emphasizes teleological national narratives and instead situates encounters with nature and the landscape in relationship to more interdisciplinary perspectives. Each chapter serves as a specific case study on topics ranging from circumpolar exploration and colonial practices, deconstructing National Romanticism myths, and contemporary artistic responses to the history of the politics of land.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, nature studies, and environmental history.
