From 18th-century accounts to contemporary discourse, this book critically examines the notion of 'Nordic exceptionalism’. Through careful historical analysis, it explores how external observers have perceived and portrayed Nordic societies, questioning the roots and evolution of this influential concept within social as well as art-historical debates. Our main research question is: Were ideas of exceptionalism already present in early discussions and debates about the Nordic countries?

Drawing on her many conversations with Ingrid Bergman and her family, author Charlotte Chandler presents a compellingly intimate biography of one of the most iconic and beloved classic Hollywood stars. During a career spanning five decades, Ingrid Bergman was one of the most acclaimed and glamorous movie stars—until she became one of the most controversial.
