...timely and of multiple interest [...] an ambitious and important
contribution to the fields of Scandinavian literature and cultural
studies dealing with nationalism and nation-building. It it higly

Studies 79, Issue 1, Spring 2007
This is an intelligently conceived and elegantly written book that
sets out to distinguish the ways in which Orientalism functioned in
the common literary and cultural imagination shared by Denmark and
Norway during the nineteenth century. [...] She (Oxfeldt) has
offered a compelling argument regarding the changing status of
Orientalism in the nineteenth-century literary tradition that
Denmark and Norway share, and given an inspiring example of how
analysis of popular cultural phenomena, such as entertainment
parks, journalism, and world fairs, can enrich understanding of
this literary tradition enormously.- Ellen Rees, University of
Oregon, Scandinavica 46, no. 1, May 2007
