{"product_id":"from-iceland-to-the-americas-tim-william-machan-9781526128751","title":"From Iceland to the Americas: Vinland and Historical Imagination","description":"This volume investigates the reception of a small historical fact with wide-ranging social, cultural and imaginative consequences. Inspired by Leif Eiriksson's visit to Vinland in about the year 1000, novels, poetry, history, politics, arts and crafts, comics, films and video games have all come to reflect rising interest in the medieval Norse and their North American presence. Uniquely in reception studies, From Iceland to the Americas approaches this dynamic between Nordic history and its reception by bringing together international authorities on mythology, language, film and cultural studies, as well as on the literature that has dominated critical reception. Collectively, the chapters not only explore the connections among medieval Iceland and the modern Americas, but also probe why medieval contact has become a modern cultural touchstone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim William Machan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526128756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526128751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Tim William Machan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936496451839,"sku":"9781526128751","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f5d8204b-42e8-4434-9015-77fbe047ffeb.jpg?v=1681425902","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-iceland-to-the-americas-tim-william-machan-9781526128751","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
