This paper takes its point of departure from an observation made by Norbert Elias in his book The Germans. Many (smaller) European states were confronted by Germany in various wars and conflicts and states such as Denmark suffered defeats. Following from this, Elias poses the question as to how the Danish people came to terms with this reality-shock. This paper claims that the unin- tended consequence of the Danish defeat was the development of a new na- tional habitus with a strong and particular form of nationalism. This national- ism not only tied the nation to the state but went much further by defining the nation as the people and the civil society. It became a deeply sedimented form of nationalism, which provided Denmark with a very strong social cohe- sion.

NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 1916 I\ix|.ci:,--Svn^ ^x^1•^^^, V^r'isteiy&^-l Printed in Great Britain tf^, ^.^.IX INTRODUCTION Much has been said about the dehcacy of Sweden's political disposition, and the outpourings of such Swedish activists as the egregious Sven Hedin have had enough, and more than enough, notice given them by English journalists. The pro-German opinions of this small class of Swedish militarists and meddlers are not those of the vast majority of the inhabitants of eastern Scandinavia. Too little has been said in any of the Allied countries of the existence of a consistent and powerful literature in which some of the foremost intellects of Sweden protest against the crimes of Germany. If we desire to know the real views of the best minds in Sweden, we ought to make acquaintance, not with the violent propaganda of a noisy court clique, but with the volumes of Professor Ernst Wigforss and of Herr C. N. Carleson, the remarkable Black Week of Herr Anton Karlgren, the essays of Professor N.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

And this makes it of the first importance that the facts from which that usage and practice are to be deduced should be correctly appre- ciated, and in particular that the great treaties which have regulated the status and territorial rights of nations should be studied from the point of view of history and international law. It is the object of this book to present materials for that study in an accessible form. The scope of the book is limited, and wisely limited, to treaties between the nations of Europe, and to treaties between those nations from 1815 onwards. To include all treaties affecting all nations would require volumes nor is it for the many ; necessary, purpose of obtaining a sufficient insight into the history and usage of European States on such matters as those to which these treaties relate, to go further back than the settlement which resulted from the Napoleonic wars.

LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. 39 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON NEW YORK AND BOMBAY 1904 PREFACE SOME years ago, when visiting Celle in connection with a book I was writing on Sophie Dorothea, The Love of an Uncrowned Queen, I found, in an unfrequented garden outside the town, a grey marble monument of unusual beauty. Around the base ran an inscription to the effect that it was erected in loving memory of Caroline Matilda, Queen of Denmark and Norway, Princess of Great Britain and Ireland, who died at Celle in 1775, at the age of twenty-three years. To this may be traced the origin of this book, for until I saw the monument I had not heard of this English Princess a sister of George III. The only excuse to be offered for this ignorance is that it is shared by the great majority of Englishmen. For though the romantic story of Caroline Matilda is known to every Dane she is the Mary Stuart of Danish history her name is almost forgotten in the land of her birth, and this despite the fact that little more than a century ago her imprisonment nearly led to a war between England and Denmark.

  • A Lost World Found Questions
    Name: edHelper A Lost World Found At a time when many of Earth's plant and animal species are in crisis, groups of new species have been discovered in both Australia and Indonesia. Scientists went to the reefs of Australia to count the different species there. They were surprised to find several new ones. A scientist from the Australian Institute of Marine Science says, "There are literally hundreds and hundreds of new species that no one has ever collected or described." Scientists found about 130 new species of soft corals and several crustaceans in the Australian waters. Another group of Australian scientists also found 850 previously unknown species living in underwater caves and micro-caverns in the Australian Outback in 2009. Most of the new species are insects, worms, spiders, and crustaceans. Most are also blind, and many have no eyes at all. They are also pale because they have been living their entire lives without exposure to light. Two species of blind fish and two species of blind eels were also found. Scientists also discovered what they called a "lost world" in the Foja Mountains of Indonesia in December of 2005. More than two million acres of old growth tropical forest that had never been explored was found there. Among the species found in these mountains was the golden-mantled tree kangaroo. It had never been seen in Indonesia. Also found was a primitive, egg-laying mammal once thought to be extinct. It is called the long-beaked echidna. The Berlepsch's six-wired bird of paradise was thought to be nearly extinct but was found again in the Foja Mountains.

    Cametot Series. EDITED BY ERNEST RHYS. GOSSE'S NORTHERN STUDIES. NORTHERN STUDIES BY EDMUND GOSSE. LONDON: WALTER SCOTT, 24 WARWICK LANE, PATERNOSTER ROW. 1890. CONTENTS. PAGE . vii INTRODUCTION. By Ernest Rhys . NORWAY- NORWEGIAN POETRY SINCE 1814 . i HENRIK IBSEN I. 3^ II 77 THE LOFODEN ISLANDS . .105 SWEDEN Z RUNEBERG . 3S DENMARK THE DANISH NATIONAL THEATRE . 174 FOUR DANISH POETS ... .198 APPENDIX 241 EDITOR'S NOTE. THE new interest that has grown up lately among us here in England, in the history and literature of the North, is remark- able. One of the three first of our living English poets has thrown the whole weight of his poetry into the revival, with characteristic energy, and his Sigurd the Volsung serves well to typify what it was that first drew us to the fresh ground offered by the North to the imagination. It was, I suppose, with a certain romantic sense of the past represented by the heroic figure of Sigurd, that most of us first turned to the poetry of Norway and its fellow countries. But our interest is clearly leading us a long way when it brings us from Sigurd the Volsung to the modern Dr. Stockmann, of Ibsen's En Folke- fiende, and to other such types of the contemporary Norseman. Indeed some critics, like Mr. Robert Buchanan, who have loved the romantic North not a little, resent greatly that the law of painful development from old to new should be at work here too. It is a wiser spirit surely, that, recognising fully all the old romance, and making much of the past, has yet wished face the has us these Northern Studies to present, and given , in which we find traced with so much sympathy and charm some of the modern developments of Scandinavian literature.

  • Historical Tales Vol. 9
    Historical Tales Vol. 9 by Charles Morris Historical Tales Vol. 9 HOW KING ROLF WON HIS BRIDE. At one time very many centuries ago, we cannot say just when, for this was in the days of the early legends, there reigned over Upsala in Sweden a king named Erik. He had no son and only one daughter, but this girl was worth a dozen sons and daughters of some kings. Torborg she was named, and there were few women so wise and beautiful and few men so strong and valiant. She cared nothing for women's work, but was the equal of any man of the court in riding, fighting with sword and shield, and other athletic sports. This troubled King Erik very much, for he thought that the princess should sit in her maiden chamber like other kings' daughters; but she told him that when she came to succeed him on the throne she would need to know how to defend her kingdom, and now was the time for her to learn. That she might become the better fitted to rule, she asked him to give her some province to govern, and this he did, making her queen of a third of his kingdom, and giving her an army of stout and bold warriors. Her court was held at Ulleraker in Upland, and here she would not let any one treat her as a woman, dressing always in men's clothing and bidding her men to call her King Torborg. To fail in this would be at risk of their heads.
