The introduction presents the aims, objectives, and contents of Contemporary Nordic Literature and Spatiality. It offers an overview of the theoretical notions of spatiality used in the chapters and explores some of the key words of the volume (such as spatiality, Nordic literature, and the spatial turn). The chapter introduces the main notions of spatiality in use in the volume, such as the interconnectedness of spatiality to include both humans and non-humans. It also discusses the four sections and the principles of organization of the volume. The introduction problematizes our focus on a special geographical area, namely the continental North, and discusses recent trends in Nordic literature.
