“From the first pages of this volume’s introduction, it is clear that it is a carefully conceived and well-organized work of collaborative inquiryIt offers valuable insights into the mutual entanglement of nationalism and historiography.” · Koen Stapelbroek, University of Helsinki
“In its transnational analysis of historiographical developments in the Nordic countries during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Making Nordic Historiography undertakes a laudable project. It provides fresh perspectives on such topics as the rise of history as an academic profession, the relationship between history written by academics and history written by novelists and other ‘outsiders,’ and the role of historical research in processes of nation-building and state-building.” · Patrik Winton, Uppsala University
