History of Icelandic politics from the days of the law book, Jónsbók, 1281 until 1551 is a history of neglect on behalf of the rulers of Iceland. Even if the reign of foreign authority meant more stability after years of conflict, Icelanders formed a collective identity and that was aimed against that foreign authority. The Reformation in 1551 was a turning point in that history of foreign rule. It also placed religion at the center of Icelandic cultural identity through the Icelandic language.
The author of this interesting book, Sverrir Jakobsson, is a professor of history at the University of Iceland.
