The viking invasion and settlement in England has been the subject
of a large and complex body of scholarship, with the consensus of
opinion among scholars as to its exact nature and influence
shifting considerably over the years. This is a fascinating new
study which will make an important addition to the literature on
the Scandinavians and the settlement in England in the ninth and
tenth centuries. D. M. Hadley offers a focused and
interdisciplinary discussion of often neglected sources. Topics
covered include the development of current debates regarding the
settlement, Anglo-Scandinavian political accommodation, the
differences and similarities between Scandinavian rural settlement
and Scandinavians in the urban environment, the conversion of
Scandinavians to Christianity, and burial practices and associated
issues of ethnicity, gender and social status. A clear and
exhaustive summary of the available archaeological, historical and
linguistic evidence, this book offers a comprehensive and
authoritative starting point for all researchers and students
investigating the viking settlement of Britain. -- .
