Landscape, Religion, and the Supernatural: Nordic Perspectives on Landscape Theory - AAR Religion, Culture, and History
Egeler, Matthias (Professor of Old Norse, Professor of Old Norse, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany)
This book is the first study to tackle the relationship between landscape and religion in-depth. Author Matthias Egeler overviews previous theories of the relationship between landscape and religion and then pushes this theorizing further with a rich case study: the supernatural landscape of the Icelandic Westfjords. There, religion and the supernatural--from churches to elf hills--are ubiquitous in the landscape and, as Egeler shows, this example sheds entirely new light on core aspects of the relationship between landscape, religion, and the supernatural.
