The authors develop the concept of cultural sainthood in the context of nationalism as a form of invisible religion, identify major shifts in canonization practices from antiquity to the nationally-motivated commemoration of the nineteenth century, and explore the afterlives of two national poets, Slovenia's France Prešeren and Iceland's Jónas Hallgrímsson. The book presents a useful analytical model of canonization for further studies on cultural sainthood and opens up fruitful perspectives for the understanding of national movements.National Cultivation of Culture12.Nationalism and literatureCanon (Literature)Poesia europeathubMemòria col·lectivathubNacionalisme en la literaturathubEuropathubLlibres electrònicsthubNationalism and literature.Canon (Literature)Poesia europeaMemòria col·lectivaNacionalisme en la literatura809.1911Dovic Marijan704303Jón Karl Helgason1965-NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910816109903321National poets, cultural saints4031059UNINA
