Reviews

It is also the first book to look at the two countries from a comparative perspective, placing its history within the larger Scandinavian as well as international context. ... Morten and Ottosen are to be thanked for providing English-speaking readers with an accessible history of one of the turning points in Scandinavian history, a period that laid the foundations for the Scandinavia with which we are familiar today. (Philip Dwyer, European History Quarterly, Vol. 46 (2), 2016)
