Abstract These 22 documents are about the inhabitants of Iceland. The time span ranges from about the middle of the nineteenth century to the late twentieth, with a particular focus on the period of the l940s to the 1980s. Most of the works are widely diversified in subject coverage, although there is emphasis on the economy, especially in regard to the marine fisheries and whaling. The status of women and women's movements in Iceland are the topics of the works by Kristmundsdóttir, Skakptadóttir, and Björnsdóttir. Gurdin's is a study of domestic violence in Iceland. Other topics covered by other authors include ethnolinguistics, zooarchaeology, kinship, literacy and literacy practice, and an analysis of the Icelandic sagas as works of fiction or historical fact.
