The Vikings maintain their grip on our imagination, but their image
is too often distorted by myth. It is true that they pillaged,
looted, and enslaved. But they also settled peacefully and traveled
far from their homelands in swift and sturdy ships to explore. The
Age of the Vikings tells the full story of this exciting period in
history. Drawing on a wealth of written, visual, and archaeological
evidence, Anders Winroth captures the innovation and pure daring of
the Vikings without glossing over their destructive heritage. He
not only explains the Viking attacks, but also looks at Viking
endeavors in commerce, politics, discovery, and colonization, and
reveals how Viking arts, literature, and religious thought evolved
in ways unequaled in the rest of Europe. The Age of the Vikings
sheds new light on the complex society, culture, and legacy of
these legendary seafarers.
