This volume explores the changes that occurred during the Viking
Age, as Scandinavian societies fell in line with the larger forces
that dominated the Insular world and Continental Europe, absorbing
the powerful symbiosis of Christianity and monarchy, adapting to
the idea of royal lineage and supremacy, and developing a buzzing
urbanism coupled with large-scale trade networks. Presenting
research on the grand context of the Viking Age alongside localised
studies, it contributes to the furthering of collaborations between
local and 'outsider' research on the Viking Age. Through a
diversity of approaches on the Viking homelands and the wider world
of the Vikings, it offers studies of a range of phenomena,
including urban and rural settlements; continuity in the use of
places as well as new types of places specific to the Viking Age;
the social significance of change; the construction and maintenance
of social identity both within the 'homelands' and across large
territories; ethnicity; and ideas of identity and the creation and
recreation of identity both at home and abroad. As such, it will
appeal to historians and archaeologists with interests in
Viking-Age studies, as well as scholars of Scandinavian studies.
