The Myths and Realities of the Viking Berserkr (Hardcover)

This book sets out a challenge to rethink and reframe our perceptions of the past in a way that is less influenced by our own modern ideas, appealing to all those interested in the Viking Age and Medieval History. By examining the Viking Age model of berserkir through both anthropological and archaeological evidence to create a new and more accurate paradigm of the Viking Age berserkr and his place in society, it will interest both researchers and students alike. This book also examines the role of berserkir in Viking Society through contemporary writings, appealing to all those interested in Old Norse Literature.
