History Of Iceland by Gunnar Karlsson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Founded late in the Viking Age, Iceland has the honour of being both one of the youngest European countries and one whose origins are copiously documented. In the only volume on the nation available in English, Gunnar Karlsson’s The History of Iceland charts the island’s beginnings and early period of harmonious self-government, its wilting in the shade of Europe’s Dark Ages and ignoble occupation by Denmark in the late 13th century to the recovery of independence in the early 20th century. | History Of Iceland by Gunnar Karlsson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
