Götiska Förbundet

ADD TITLE DESCRIPTION
The Götiska Förbundet (Gothic League) was an association of Swedish writers who wanted to bring the spirit of Norse mythology into the first half of the 19th century.
The beginnings of the federal government lay in regular meetings of some (former) fellow students who wanted to celebrate the "old northerners". At these meetings they wore Viking helmets, drank from horns and gave themselves Old Nordic names. Over time, the common idea developed at the meetings to bring the Scandinavian people closer to the spirit of the north through poetry and stories. Based on this idea, the group founded Götiska Förbundet in 1811. In their poems they mixed Old Norse with Celtic, Greek and Roman elements, thereby trying to make the old world of the north the subject of poetic treatment and historical research.
