Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... XXXVII THE RECENT HISTORY OF NORWAY Since the great crisis which terminated in the impeachment of Prime Minister Selmer, the history of Norway has continued somewhat turbulent, although within the bounds of legality; and the contest between the nation and the crown has not yet been decided. Howbeit certain other matters have intervened alongside of the strictly constitutional agitation. Norway has followed the precedent of all other nations which tend towards democracy in associating attacks upon the Church with attempts to limit the power of the crown. The position of the country parson in Norway is one of considerable power and influence. He is, of course, a better educated man than the peasants by whom he is surrounded. Through his glebe he is a landowner; and where all estates are small he may be reckoned a considerable one. He is ex-offieio chairman of the District Board School; and he is very frequently chosen to represent his electoral district in the Storthing. It is this last fact which makes the Norwegian clergyman a more powerful person than his English colleague. We have not a pleasant picture of this pastor (praest) in Ibsen's writings; in the Straamand of " Love's Comedy," or the Dean (Provost) of" Brand." In fact, as we might guess, the literary class and the scientific {the illuminati) are his natural enemies. That he has his fair share of formalism and insincerity we may well suppose. But in any case it was inevitable that the new democracy, impatient of every kind of restraint, should begin a war against the influence of the Church. 1 By C. F. Keary, author of " The Vikings in Western Christendom," "Norway and the Norwegians," &c. For now the Liberal party began to split itself up; and democracy, as in other...

Each book offers an updated introduction to readers who wish to familiarize themselves with a given subject.

This volume presents a comprehensive exposition of both the prehistory and medieval history of the whole of Scandinavia. The first part of the volume surveys the prehistoric and historic Scandinavian landscape and its natural resources, and tells how man took possession of this landscape, adapting culturally to changing natural conditions and developing various types of community throughout the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. The rest - and most substantial part of the volume - deals with the history of Scandinavia from the Viking Age to the end of the Scandinavian Middle Ages (c. 1520). The external Viking expansion opened Scandinavia to European influence to a hitherto unknown degree. A Christian church organisation was established, the first towns came into being, and the unification of the three medieval kingdoms of Scandinavia began, coinciding with the formation of the unique Icelandic 'Free State'.

A concise, elegant survey of a complex aspect of Canadian history, A Short History of the State in Canada examines the theory and reality of governance within Canada's distinctive political heritage: a combination of Indigenous, French, and British traditions, American statism and anti-statism, and diverse, practical experiments and experiences. E.A. Heaman takes the reader through the development of the state in both principle and practice, examining Indigenous forms of government before European contact; the interplay of French and British colonial institutions before and after the Conquest of New France; the creation of the nineteenth-century liberal state; and, finally, the rise and reconstitution of the modern social welfare state. Moving beyond the history of institutions to include the development of political cultures and social politics, A Short History of the State in Canada is a valuable introduction to the topic for political scientists, historians, and anyone interested in Canada's past and present.
