Iceland appears to many a country shrouded in mystery & legend, & marked by contradiction: a part of Europe, & yet separated from it by the Atlantic Ocean; seemingly inhospitable, & yet home to more than 300, 000 souls. Wasteland with Words explores the evolution & transformation of Icelandic society & culture, investigating the literary & historical factors that created the rich cultural heritage enjoyed by Icelanders today.

With a focus on the lives of individual Icelanders throughout, the book seeks to chart the vast changes in this country`s history through the impact & effect on the Icelandic people themselves.” Wasteland with Words” is a comprehensive study of the island`s social & historical development, from tiny fishing settlements to a global economic power. It will appeal to anyone interested in or studying this most enigmatic of islands, & also to those interested in cultural & social history as a whole.
