This essay collection is a wide-ranging exploration of Vikings, the
television series that has successfully summoned the historical
world of the Norse people for modern audiences to enjoy. From a
range of critical viewpoints, the essays explore the ways in which
past and present representations of the Vikings converge in the
show's richly textured dramatization of the rise and fall of Ragnar
Loobrok-and the exploits of his heirs-creating what many viewers
label a "true" representation of the age. From the show's sources
in both saga literature and Victorian revival, to its engagement
with contemporary concerns regarding gender, race and identity, via
setting, sex, society and more, this first book-length study of the
History Channel series appeals to fans of the show, Viking
enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in medievalist
representation in the 21st century.
