The book presents a comprehensive reexamination of Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian paganism during the pre-Viking and Viking eras.

Drawing on comparative literature from Old Norse-Icelandic and various Old Germanic languages, the author creatively reconstructs limited Old English evidence, offering fresh insights into significant poems like "Deor" and "The Dream of the Rood."
