The Viking Diaspora

More about the book

Focusing on the early medieval migrations from Scandinavia, this work explores the Viking diaspora as a movement of people rather than armies. Judith Jesch examines the shared heritage that linked these communities through aspects such as law, literature, and material culture. The book emphasizes significant cultural contacts, particularly in terms of gender, beliefs, and identities, providing a nuanced understanding of how these migrations shaped the identities and connections of the people involved.
