Mention the conquest of England, and the answer is 1066 and William the Conqueror, but fifty years earlier, England was conquered by Cnut the Dane. It came as no surprise. His father, the Danish King Sven Forkbeard, had done the same thing in 1013, but when he died shortly afterwards the country reverted to King Aethelred Unred. But the story goes back much further than that. The populations around the shores of the North Sea are surprisingly homogeneous genetically, and have been so since the Neolithic era. Exchanges of goods, culture, and wives across the North Sea have been going on for millennia, and the oldest Anglo-Saxon poems, like Beowulf, tell of Danish kings in a glorious past. Relations were not always peaceful, and at the end of the eighth century they developed into a religious war. When Christian missionaries destroyed heathen idols and temples, the pagan Vikings responded by pillaging churches and monasteries and trampling on holy relics. It took several hundred years before the last pagans were converted, and in the meantime they had settled on the shores of England and France, in Danelaw and Normandy. Cnut believed that he had a claim on the English throne through his forefathers in the Danelaw and through Edward the Elder, but his North Sea Empire inaugurated the most prosperous and peaceful decades of medieval English history. It crumbled quickly upon his dead, and gave way to a superior Continental culture, but it still has some appeal today, with its simplicity and naivety.

The essays in this insightful film-analysis text show cover twenty-one of the best European films made between the coming of World War II and the end of the twentieth century, showing what makes each of them outstanding. These essays are clear and readable—that is, sophisticated and meaty yet not overly technical or jargon-heavy. They will make perfect introductions to their respective films as well as important contributions to the field of film studies in general. Written with university students in mind, these essays cover some of the central films treated—and central issues raised—in today’s cinema courses and provide students with practical models to help them improve their own writing and analytical skills. A list of questions for discussion is included, to trigger further thinking among film buffs and to help educators prepare for class. The book is aimed at students, teachers, and cinephiles with an interest in European cinema in particular and cinema studies in general, as well as at those educated readers with an interest in the practice of film analysis and criticism. The only competition comes from Stanley Kauffmann’s relatively brief Ten Great Films (136 pp., 2012). The current work offers twenty-one illustrated essays (Kauffmann’s book contains no images) and focuses on Europe. (The countries represented are France, Italy, England, Hungary, Belgium, Sweden, Scotland, Denmark, Russia, Spain, Germany, Scotland, and Finland.) Twenty-One Landmark European Films, 1939-1999 overlaps with Kauffmann’s book only in the case of L’avventura, though the two approach this film from vastly different angles. Moreover, the book provides a complete critical apparatus—notes, bibliographies, credits, and filmographies, whereas Kauffmann’s has none. This book could be one of the primary texts for courses in film analysis, to accompany a work like Timothy Corrigan’s A Short Guide to Writing about Film (8th edition, 2011). It would also be a suitable supplementary or secondary text in such courses as 'Introduction to Film' or 'Film Appreciation'; 'Western European Cinema'; 'History of Film' or 'Global Cinema'; and 'Film Directors' or 'Film Style and Imagination.'

The volume features a comprehensive introduction, and provides a broad survey of the beginnings and progress of the Catholic and Protestant Reformations in Northern Europe, while also highlighting themes of comparison that are common to all of the bloc under consideration, which will be of interest to Reformation scholars across this geographical region.

“A fascinating tale of discovery and mystery.” —The Minneapolis Star Tribune In the early 1800's, on a Hebridean beach in Scotland, the sea exposed an ancient treasure cache: 93 chessmen carved from walrus ivory. The Lewis Chessmen are probably the most famous chess pieces in the world. Harry played Wizard's Chess with them in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Housed at the British Museum, they are among its most visited and beloved objects. Questions abounded: Who carved them? Where? Nancy Marie Brown's Ivory Vikings explores these mysteries by connecting medieval Icelandic sagas with modern archaeology, art history, forensics, and the history of board games. In the process, Ivory Vikings presents a vivid history of the 400 years when the Vikings ruled the North Atlantic, and the sea-road connected countries and islands we think of as far apart and culturally distinct: Norway and Scotland, Ireland and Iceland, and Greenland and North America. The story of the Lewis chessmen brings from the shadows an extraordinarily talented woman artist of the twelfth century: Margret the Adroit of Iceland.

Med Knud den Stores død i 1035 og Hardeknuds 7 år senere slutter Danmarks vikingetid; eventyret er forbi. I de følgende år kastes landet ud i mange og alvorlige kriser, der kulminerer med blodbadet i Roskilde og det efterfølgende opgør på Grathe Hede. Magten overtages af Valdemar, der genrejser riget og som ved sin død 25 år senere, i 1182, har fået tilnavnet den Store. Med Venderkrigene, som Absalon organiserede, har Danmark skaffet sig fred udadtil, og riget er igen på vej op, en linje, der støt fortsættes under Knud den Sjette og i Valdemar Sejrs ungdom. Det er ikke den mindst kedelige del af Danmarks historie Palle Lauring her skildrer, de dramatiske begivenheder afløser hinanden i hastig rækkefølge, men perioden rummer også fredeligere afsnit. Den unge kirke arbejder sig målbevidst frem til en dominerende stilling. Overalt i landet påbegyndes kirkebyggeri, der skaber ny kultur. Kalkmalerier og folkeviser kan fortælle om den tidlige middelalder og dens mennesker, og Palle Lauring formidler i Valdemarerne på ganske enestående vis fortællingerne. Forsiden: Søjlebase af granit, kathoveddøren, Ribe Domkirke, ca. 1150, d.v.s. tiden imellem Erik Lam og Valdemar den Store. Søjlebærende løver er kendt i Mellemøsten før kristen tid, og de var i middelalderen almindelige i hele den kristne verden. Ribeløverne er temmelig forvitrede, men det har givet dem en skulpturel styrke, den fastsluttede »stenklump«, der var Kai Nielsens ideal. Kirkens restaurerende arkitekter har heldigvis ikke ladet sig friste til at forny dem. Sådan ser de ud efter 800 år i Ribes ret barske klima. Foto: Palle Lauring. Valdemarerne er tredje, selvstændige bind af Palle Laurings store, fortællende Danmarkshistorie. De første 3 bind i serien er: De byggede riget »Han har som helhed givet en fremstilling af Danmarks oldtid, som kan stå for den videnskabelige kritiks dom... Lauring har formået at behandle et stof, der let kan komme til at virke tørt, på en fantastisk levende måde...« – Rudi Thomsen Vikingerne »Vi må takke ham for hans vikingebog ... Skal bedriften karakteriseres i få ord, og skal overdrevne vendinger undgås, så lad mig sige: et djærvt, intelligent og kundskabsfyldt skrift sat på papiret med kraft og sind.« – Johannes Brøndsted Valdemars sønner og unionen »Et sådant tidsrum er fuldt af spændende stof til den historieforfatter, der kan udnytte det, og det kan Lauring.« – Bendix Madsen

Nordic Elites in Transformation, c. 1050-1250, Volume II explores the structures and workings of social networks within the elites of medieval Scandinavia to reveal the intricate relationship between power and status. Section one of this volume categorizes basic types of personal bonds, both vertical and horizontal, while section two charts patterns of local, regional and transnational elite networks from wide-scope, longitudinal perspectives. Finally, the third section turns to case-studies of networks in action, analyzing strategies and transactions implied by uses of social resources in specific micro-political settings. A concluding chapter discusses how social power in the North compared to wider European experiences. A wide range of sources and methodologies is applied to reveal how networks were established, maintained, and put to use – and how they transformed in processes of centralizing power and formalizing hierarchies. The engagement with and analysis of intriguing primary source material has produced a key teaching tool for instructors and essential reading for students interested in the workings of medieval Scandinavia, elite class structures, and Social and Political History more generally.
