In 1993-1994 Sigrid Rausing completed her anthropological PhD fieldwork on the peninsula of Noarootsi, a former Soviet ‘border protection zone’ in western Estonia. Abandoned watch towers dotted the coast line, and the huge fields of the Lenin collective farm were lying fallow, waiting for claims from former owners, who had fled war, and Nazi and Soviet occupation. In Everything Is Wonderful, a book that blends history, memoir, and travel writing, Rausing tells the story of how she lived and worked amongst the villagers, witnessing their transition from Soviet neglect to post-Soviet austerity, and democracy.

Until recently, Kristensen (1843-1929) was largely ignored by the Danish public. Now he has become a cultural hero amongst scholarly circles because he was the first to truly document peasant life. This is the first biography of Kristensen, a collector of folklore and author of 79 books, whose life adventures are as rich as the ones he shared with the public. This wonderful book provides extensive insight into Kristensen’s life as well as the lives of peasants from 19th century Denmark.

This anthology approaches the question of romantic theory – or romanticism and theory – from different angles. It deals with the interconnections between various disciplines in the romantic period, showing how romantic aesthetics are influenced by the scientific ideas and concepts, by linguistics and semiotics, as well as by romantic theories on the dream and the unconscious. The 15 essays in this volume, written by scholars from Scandinavia, Europe and North America, are grouped together under three thematic headings: Language and Semiotics, Image, Imagery, Imagination, and The Romantic Other.
