A Folk Divided
"What happens to a people ... when it becomes divided and separated through a great overseas migration? ... how do the two parts of such a divided people relate to each other? What ideas do they have regarding each other as the process continues and as time and circumstance cause them to develop in separate ways of their own? The purpose of this book is to seek answers to such questions in the case of the Swedes during the period of their great migration, between roughly 1840 and 1940." -- Pref.

Sweden and Visions of Norway
H. Arnold Barton investigates Norwegian political and cultural influences in Sweden during the period of the Swedish-Norwegian dynastic union from 1814 to 1905. After a proud medieval past, Norway had come under the Danish crown in the fourteenth century and had been reduced to virtually a Danish province by the sixteenth. In 1814 Denmark relinquished Norway, which became a separate kingdom, dynastically united with Sweden with its own constitutional government. Disputes during the next ninety-one years caused Norway unilaterally to dissolve the tie in 1905. Barton is the first historian to look beyond the cultural conflicts and examine the impact of the union on internal developments, parti...
Encyclopedia of Gay Histories and Cultures
First Published in 2000. A rich heritage that needs to be documented Beginning in 1869, when the study of homosexuality can be said to have begun with the establishment of sexology, this encyclopedia offers accounts of the most important international developments in an area that now occupies a critical place in many fields of academic endeavors. It covers a long history and a dynamic and ever changing present, while opening up the academic profession to new scholarship and new ways of thinking.

Svenskar i krig för Danmark
Åren 1848 1850 och 1864 utkämpade Danmark två krig mot en koalition av tyska stater för att behålla de båda hertigdömena Schleswig och Holstein. I båda krigen hoppades man på hjälp från den svensk-norska unionen, men trots politiskt stöd vägrade Oscar I:s och Karl XV:s regeringar att låta sig dras in i kriget. Det hela slutade med att de omstridda landområdena förlorades, vilket var en nationell katastrof för Danmark. Under båda krigen anslöt dock flera hundra soldater frivilligt från unionen. Svenskar i krig för Danmark handlar om dem. Utifrån omfattande arkivforskning har Lars Ericson Wolke skrivit den första djupgående skildringen av dessa frivilliga. Vi får inblick i flera fascinerande och i vissa fall tragiska personöden, men också i det större politiska sammanhanget. Svenskarnas och norrmännens insatser på dansk sida var de mest konkreta uttrycken för den skandinavism och de unionsdrömmar som många hyste under 1800-talet.
