The carved stone crosses of the Isle of Man of the late fifth to
mid-eleventh century are of national and international importance.
They provide the most coherent source for the early history of
Christianity in the Island, and for the arrival and conversion of
Scandinavian settlers in the last century of the Viking Age - a
century which produced some of the earliest recognisable images of
the heroes and gods of the North; earlier, indeed, than those found
in Scandinavia. This, the first general survey of the material for
more than a century, provides a new view of the political and
religious connections of the Isle of Man in a period of great
turmoil in the Irish Sea region. The book also includes an
up-to-date annotated inventory of the monuments.
