Filling a gap in the literature for an academically oriented
volume on the Viking period, this unique book is a one-stop
authoritative introduction to all the latest research in the
field.
Bringing together today 's leading scholars, both established
seniors and younger, cutting-edge academics, Stefan Brink and Neil
Price have constructed the first single work to gather innovative
research from a spectrum of disciplines (including archaeology,
history, philology, comparative religion, numismatics and cultural
geography) to create the most comprehensive Viking Age book of its
kind ever attempted.
Consisting of longer articles providing overviews of important
themes, supported by shorter papers focusing on material of
particular interest, this comprehensive volume covers such
wide-ranging topics as social institutions, spatial issues, the
Viking Age economy, warfare, beliefs, language, voyages, and links
with medieval and Christian Europe.
This original work, specifically oriented towards a university
audience and the educated public, will have a self-evident place as
an undergraduate course book and will be a standard work of
reference for all those in the field.
