Here at Vikingology we are pleased to see this new addition to the scholarship on the Viking Age by two of its top researchers, Dr. Neil Price and Dr. Ben Raffield, both archaeologists at Uppsala University in Sweden.
If you have been reading about Vikings for any length of time, you will know that Price and Raffield have both written extensively about a wide range of topics from myth and the “Viking mind” to slavery, warfare, and social inequality. This new book provides a comprehensive introduction to the Viking Age. For more information and to place your order head to the publisher’s site.
Price and Raffield have also been involved with The Viking Phenomenon, a decade-long research project funded by the Swedish government which Price directs. It is greatly expanding what we know about this fascinating period in history and worth checking out.
We are also thrilled to announce we will be interviewing Dr. Raffield on our podcast in early September. Stay tuned, and in the meantime buy the book!
Skál!
