Finland and Iceland: Shifting Perspectives

Iceland and Finland each have a rich literary heritage, from folklore and the Sagas, through Kalevala and other epic poetry to Nordic contemporary literature. To what extent has literature shaped our national identities and how does it translate into the future?
