Though the romanticised image of the wild Scandinavian past that powers the scene's intense emotional appeal is entangled with deeply troubling discourses, the authors argue for Nordic ritual folk as a progressive space where identities can be explored, re-imagined and re-combined. Full of detail, but approachably and enjoyably written, this volume is an indispensable and authoritative examination of where Nordic ritual folk music has come from and how it achieves its remarkable power, which will enrich any listener's enjoyment of the music itself; highly recommended for academic specialists and fans alike. --Simon Trafford, the Institute of Historical Research Author InformationRoss Hagen is associate professor of music studies at Utah Valley University.
