Icelandic Culture
by Sigurður Nordal
This is a strongly patriotic book, published shortly before Iceland gained its independence from Denmark in 1944. It’s a history of Iceland up to the time of Iceland’s submission to Norway in 1262-1264. The Icelanders were made to pay taxes to the crown of Norway at that time, and later became subject to Denmark in around 1380.
