This book provocatively argues that much of what English writers of
the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries remembered
about medieval English geography, history, religion and literature,
they remembered by means of medieval and modern Scandinavia. These
memories, in turn, figured in something even broader. Protestant
and fundamentally monarchical, the Nordic countries constituted a
politically kindred spirit in contrast with France, Italy and
Spain. Along with the so-called Celtic fringe and overseas
colonies, Scandinavia became one of the external reference points
for the forging of the United Kingdom. Subject to the continual
refashioning of memory, the region became at once an image of
Britain's noble past and an affirmation of its current global
status, rendering trips there rides on a time machine. -- .
