General Description
The
Encyclopedia of Contemporary Scandinavian Culture is one in
a series of reference works published by Routledge. It is intended
to offer a comprehensive guide to Scandinavian culture understood
in the broadest sense, including entries on social, political
and economic topics as well as those under more traditional 'cultural'
headings such as film, literature and music. Chronologically,
the encyclopedia will cover the period since 1945, with an emphasis
on more recent years. It is intended to be an essential resource
for teaching and independent study in the field; reliable for
fact-checking and a first source for further exploration of particular
topics.
The Encyclopedia will include information on all five Nordic countries.
