Illustrated throughout, this book introduces non-Scandinavian readers to developments in the Nordic countries during the late-eighteenth and early nineteenth-centuries and both complement and challenge research into the political cultures of Europe and America. 'This work is an excellent summary of recent research on eighteenth-century Scandinavia, and its extensive bibliography is a useful blend of both Scandinavian and non-Scandinavian sources.' The Historian '... the authors of Scandinavia in the Age of Revolution provide to a wide audience a compounded set of exciting results from research inspired by methodological innovations in the last few decades within social history, the history of ideas and cultural history.'
