Chronicles of the Vikings: Records, Memorials, and Myths
'I would recommend this book as a worthwhile addition to any medievalist's bookshelf, whether it be as a pedagogic or research tool or as a purely recreational tome. My only quibble is a minor one: the title might at first glance seem somewhat misleading to scholars, for this is by no means a collection of dry "chronicles" but a vivid anthology of writings from one of the most maligned groups in European history.'(Tim ClarksonArthuriana)'... a wealth of riches on the Viking Age and a view of that time and people which depends on a fine historical assessment of the evidence that survives. His very accessible survey of available sources and his exposition of the ways they should be used are masterful and pointed.'(Lesley AbramsTimes Literary Supplement)
