Review: "It has been said that democratic populism is Scandinavia's gift to the modern world. But the critical role that sport has played in the development of this particular form of society has gone largely unremarked. In these ten essays, Niels Kayser Nielsen analyses how the growth of physical culture in the region has both reflected and contributed to the parallel rise of Scandinavian nationalism during the last two hundred years."--BOOK JACKET.
