Reviews
"Northrop Frye has commented that a critic's literary output should be set on a par with that of a literary artist.... Dr. Neijmann's book will not make the bards shudder; it is an intelligent survey by a brilliant young scholar, which can only heighten the appreciation of Icelandic-Canadian literature to the English reading world." - Kevin Jon Johnson, Lsgberg-Heimskringla (The Icelandic Weekly Newspaper)
