Antunović, Goranka (ed.). Glimpses of the North : Discovering Scandinavia and Scandinavian Studies. Zagreb: Srednja Europa, 2014.

The volume comprises articles by fourteen scholars from ten European universities. The topics, indicative of the variety of research orientations within contemporary Scandinavian Studies, follow four main thematic strands: Old Norse literature and mythology; the shaping and characteristics of group identities in the Scandinavian countries and Finland; Scandinavian writers (H. C Andersen and K. Hamsun) and Scandinavian travelogues by Croatian writers; the Swedish language and Croatian-Swedish contrastive topics.
