Book Synopsis


Trade Review
It would be difficult to disagree with the remark of the authors on the first page of this dictionary that Sweden has had two claims to prominence in European history; first in her brief period of military glory in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and second as the prototypical welfare state in the twentieth. Both these periods are well-represented in the book’s 300 entries, between 20 and 2,000 words, which cover personalities (more than half the total number), places, parties and organizations, neighbouring countries and general subjects. * s *
