Discover the Epic Quotes and Wisdom of One of History's Most Fascinating Warrior Cultures, The Vikings. From the rugged and icy lands of ancient Scandinavia was forged the seafaring, axe-wielding, long bearded Vikings. But what is myth and what is fact? Were these Norse peoples just simple ale drinking, pillaging savages as they are so often depicted? The truth may surprise you, that under this falsely portrayed stereotype, lay one of history's most unique and interesting cultures. The Vikings were a deeply spiritual, family oriented, honorable people, the majority of whom lived simple lives as farmers,fishermen, traders and explorers. There are grand poems and stories of epic heroes, frightful beasts, and mighty Gods. Viking explorers reached North America centuries before Columbus. Merchants traded their goods as far east as Baghdad, and their infamous raiding warriors settled new lands, with their descendants even becoming great Kings of Western Europe.There are many untold tales and mysteries to be solved in this book, and I hope to shed some new light on a culture that still fascinates us today.

A New Handbook of Literary Terms offers a lively, informative guide to words and concepts that every student of literature needs to know. Mikics’s definitions are essayistic, witty, learned, and always a pleasure to read. They sketch the derivation and history of each term, including especially lucid explanations of verse forms and providing a firm sense of literary periods and movements from classicism to postmodernism. The Handbook also supplies a helpful map to the intricate and at times confusing terrain of literary theory at the beginning of the twenty-first century: the author has designated a series of terms, from New Criticism to queer theory, that serves as a concise but thorough introduction to recent developments in literary study. Mikics’s Handbook is ideal for classroom use at all levels, from freshman to graduate. Instructors can assign individual entries, many of which are well-shaped essays in their own right. Useful bibliographical suggestions are given at the end of most entries. The Handbook’s enjoyable style and thoughtful perspective will encourage students to browse and learn more. Every reader of literature will want to own this compact, delightfully written guide.

"This book brings the Vikings to life, showing them as they saw themselves, portrayed in their own writings or in the reports of people who knew them closely. It comprises a series of new translations from primary sources: runic inscriptions left behind by the Vikings, poems of their official skalds, literary works that entertained them, the few prose historical accounts that derive direct from Vikings, and eyewitness reports of how the northern peoples lived." "To understand the primary sources it is essential to have some idea of how they came into being and how they were preserved. In his extensive introduction, Professor Page discusses the problems involved in using writings of this sort and looks at the information that is preserved solely in these primary sources."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
