Gothicismus
Gothicismus, Gothism, or Gothicism ((スウェーデン語:Göticism)) is the name given to what is considered to have been a cultural movement in Sweden, centered on the belief in the glory of the Swedish ancestors, originally considered to be the Geats, who were identified with the Goths. The founders of the movement were Nicolaus Ragvaldi and the brothers Johannes and Olaus Magnus. The belief continued to hold power in the 17th century, when Sweden was a great power following the Thirty Years' War, but lost most of its sway in the 18th. It was revitalized by Romantic nationalism in the early 19th century, this time with the Vikings as heroic figures.
==Origins==
The name is derived from Jordanes's account of the Gothic ''urheimat'' in Scandinavia (Scandza), and the Gothicists in Sweden believed that the Goths had originated from Sweden. The Gothicismus movement took pride in the Gothic tradition that the Ostrogoths and their king Theodoric the Great, who assumed power in the Roman Empire, had Scandinavian ancestry. This pride was expressed as early as the medieval chronicles, where chroniclers wrote about the Goths as the ancestors of the Scandinavians, and the idea was used by Nicolaus Ragvaldi at the Council of Basel to argue that the Swedish monarchy was the foremost in Europe. It also permeated the writings of the Swedish writer Johannes Magnus (''Historia de omnibus gothorum sueonumque regibus'') and his brother Olaus Magnus (''Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus''). Both works had a strong influence on contemporary scholarship in Sweden.
Some scholars in Denmark attempted to identify the Goths with the Jutes; however, these ideas did not lead to the same widespread cultural movement in Danish society as it did in the Swedish. In contrast with the Swedes, the Danes of this era did not forward claims to political legitimacy based on assertions that their country was the original homeland of the Goths or that the conquest of the Roman Empire was proof of their own country's military valour and power through history.〔Sondrup, Steven P. and Virgil Nemoianu (2004). ''Nonfictional Romantic Prose: Expanding Borders''. In the International Comparative Literature Association's ''History of Literatures in European Languages'' series. John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2004, ISBN 90-272-3451-5, p. 143.〕
During the 17th century, Danes and Swedes competed for the collection and publication of Icelandic manuscripts, Norse sagas, and the two ''Eddas''. In Sweden, the Icelandic manuscripts became part of an origin myth and were seen as proof that the greatness and heroism of the ancient Geats had been passed down through the generations to the current population. This pride culminated in the publication of Olaus Rudbeck's treatise ''Atland eller Manheim'' (1679–1702), in which he claimed that Sweden was identical to Atlantis.
