Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scandinavia of the Scandinavians There are unmistakable indications in England and America of increasing interest in the contemporary progress of the Scandinavian peoples. These descendants of a once warlike race are devoting their untiring energies to experiments in the arts of peace. Although they number fewer than 11,000,000 souls the Scandinavians have not failed to furnish the modern world with their quota of successful plans for social betterment, working-man's insurance, co-operative methods of farming, discoveries in physics, cunning inventions of mechanical devices, and important contributions to music, painting, poetry, and drama. The introductory chapter of this book is a brief review of the history of the three nations that constitute Scandinavia - Denmark, Norway, and Sweden - setting forth their relations to one another. Knit by racial sympathies and a formerly common language, these three peoples have been drawn even closer together by the Great War now, December, 1914, raging close to their borders. Subsequent chapters treat of their life and thought at the present day. Incidents from earlier periods are only touched upon in order to give the necessary historical setting. Temporary sojourn among the hospitable and warmhearted people of each land, and intimate business and social relations with men of affairs, have resulted in the assembling of the facts and impressions contained in the following pages. Many have been my helpers and advisers. Their names, some of them, appear in the text. All are authorities on subjects bearing upon Scandinavia in the making.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 902 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Scandinavians and Successful Scandinavians in the United States In selecting and editing the biographies - as well as in preparing everything else for this work - I have endeavored to be impartial. It has been my aim not to be influenced by any religious belief, national prejudice, political conviction, or personal friendship or dislike. In cases where I felt that I might be liable to lean toward one side or another, some of the editors or revisers, whose opinions differed from mine, were consulted. To state the unadorned facts, without lite rary display or expression of judgment, has been the con stant endeavor in regard to the biographical sketches. Yet sometimes it was almost necessary to pass judgment on a man's standing within a certain sphere, and I have not shrunk from doing so, or from permitting it to be done, when ever it seemed advisable or desirable, and when the opinions expressed were by general consent considered to be true.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Literature of the Scandinavian North From the Most Ancient Times to the Present That in early times became detached from the great folk-tree which we usually call the gothic-germanic (or Teutonic) race. This branch embraces the inhabitants of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. The latter be longs, though merely ih a political sense, to Denmark. In the following review of the intellectual life of these nations, as it has, in the course of time, found expression in litera ture, we propose to consider the inhabitants of the four countries named collectively, although they at the present time, not only in politics, but also in many other respects, possess strongly marked national individualities, and differ one from the other in many things. We feel justified in so doing for the reason that they, in spite of differences, and, in spite of all the feuds and conflicts that have divided them in the past, still in reality constitute a unity, which, quite unlike the other European peoples, even those which are most nearly related to one another, has acquired to the close observer a common physiognomy. They are sister nations, which, with the changes that time has wrought, have in some respects been developed each in her own peculiar manner. They have frequently met as foes, but in spite of this, they have preserved the mark of kin ship, that became their common inheritance when they.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scandinavian Element in the United States In this flux of humanity, mobile almost to fluidity, various in promise of utility, shifting in proportions of the good and bad, of pauper, refugee, and fanatic, or bird of passage, sweatshop man, and home-builder, there has been such an interplay of subtle and vast forces that no just and final appreciation can as yet be reached.
