Between History and Myth: Stories of Harald Fairhair and the Founding of the State
Bruce Lincoln
Among those institutions most in need of an impressive creation account is the state: it's one of the primary ways states attempt to legitimate themselves. Using the story of how Harald Fairhair unified Norway in the ninth century, the author illuminates the way a state's foundation story blurs the distinction between history and myth.
