Purchase options and add-ons

This volume examines the various forms of contact between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe from 800 to 1350. It consists of twenty-five papers from international scholars specialising in archaeology, onomastics, literature, art history, epigraphy, religious history and linguistics. The volume is innovative in three respects: (i) in transcending conventional historical boundaries, by bringing together work on both the viking and medieval periods; (ii) by examining the ways in which mainland Europe influenced Scandinavia (e.g. kingship, law and social organisation; and classical and continental literary traditions); and (iii) by synthesising all the material for an English-language readership for the first time. The broader timespan of investigation illustrates the changing nature of contact and the gradual integration of Scandinavia into European society: by 1350 Scandinavia was no longer a heathen outpost on the periphery of the known world, but an integral part of Western Christendom. The cultural impact of mainland Europe on Scandinavia, frequently mediated through religious channels, although less dramatic, is shown to have had a more significant long-term impact than the earlier viking raids. The volume is structured around the following sections: Historical and Archaeological Evidence for [Scandinavian] Contact with the British Isles; Evidence for the Linguistic Impact of Scandinavian Settlement; Evidence for the Impact of Christianity on Scandinavia; Textual Evidence for Contact, Conflict, and Coexistence.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Katherine has degrees in both History and Archaeology, and her PhD looked at the historical evidence of Scandinavian runic inscriptions in the British Isles. She has spent time researching Viking-Age and medieval runic inscriptions at the Universities of Gothenburg and Uppsala (in Sweden) and Trondheim (in Norway), and has worked at the University of Hull and The Open University in the UK.

She has visited many remote churches and beautiful historical locations, as well as museums, in search of the objects and monuments that have survived from the centuries when Scandinavians were traders, raiders, rulers and settlers, their influence stretching from North America to the Middle East. Her books explore the impact and legacy of the Viking Age in the British Isles and beyond.
