Good Press, 2021

In "One Year in Scandinavia," Erastus Fairbanks Snow provides a compelling narrative that intricately combines travel writing with personal reflection. The book recounts his extensive travels across Scandinavian countries, weaving together vivid descriptions of landscapes, culture, and the socio-political climate of the time. Written in an accessible yet eloquent literary style, Snow's observations encapsulate both the beauty and challenges faced by the region during the late 19th century, positioning his work within the literary tradition of exploratory and ethnographic writing that flourished during this period. Snow, a prominent figure in the early Latter-day Saint movement and an accomplished missionary, was deeply influenced by his religious convictions and fascination with diverse cultures. His experiences and the knowledge he gained during his mission in Scandinavia profoundly shaped his perspectives, fostering a desire to bridge gaps between knowledge and understanding of the region's people and their beliefs. This context reveals why the book is as much about cultural inquiry as it is about geographical exploration. "One Year in Scandinavia" is a must-read for anyone interested in travel literature, cultural studies, or the historical narratives surrounding Scandinavian societies. Snow's unique insights and reflective prose offer readers an engaging lens through which to explore this fascinating region, making it an invaluable contribution to the canon of 19th-century travel writing. Whether you have a personal interest in Scandinavia or simply enjoy well-crafted travel literature, 'One Year in Scandinavia' is sure to educate and inspire.
