Abstract
Under the Treaty of Vienna of 1864 Denmark lost the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein and Lauenburg, and it was not until the peace treaty at the end of the First World War that the Danish areas of North Schleswig (South Jutland) were returned, after a referendum, to the realm. Fifty years after the re-union Miss Askgård has investigated the industrialisation of South Jutland. The resulting book, which illuminates a hitherto neglected aspect of the turbulent history of this border territory, is based on a winning entry for the Copenhagen University Geography Prize for 1967.
