THE VIKING WORLD

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, in collaboration with Neil Price, has con-

structed the ﬁrst single work to gather innovative research from a spectrum of discip-

lines (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 or sites of particular interest, this comprehen-

sive volume covers such wide-ranging topics as social institutions, spatial issues, the

Viking Age economy, Icelandic sagas and poetry, warfare, beliefs, language, voyages,

and links with medieval and Christian Europe.

Including extensive illustrations, maps and references, this book is essential to the

collection of any student or specialist in the Viking period or Scandinavian history.

Stefan Brink is Professor of Scandinavian Studies and Director of the Centre for

Scandinavian Studies at the University of Aberdeen.

Neil Price is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Aberdeen.
