The Nordic Atlantic area has seen remarkable examples of social formations in areas that many would perceive as too remote to allow the construction of functioning communities. But through innovations, networking and the formation of identities people have coped with distances, thus continuously rebuilding societies in Northern Norway, Iceland, the Faroes, and Greenland.

Jennifer Wunder makes a strong case for the importance of hermeticism and the secret societies to an understanding of John Keats’s poetry and his speculations about religious and philosophical questions.
