| Sumario: | This book focuses on Iceland as a nineteenth-century utopian locus in the light of racial theories attached to the country's national framework. In particular, it investigates the ways in which five nineteenth-century travellers define their national identity and gender in relation to Iceland during the Victorian period, during which European nationalism emerges as an idea of paramount importance.
