Barraclough, E.R (2016) Beyond the northlands: Viking voyages and the Old Norse sagas. Oxford University Press, Oxford. ISBN 9780198701248

Abstract

An exploration of the Viking Age and the Global Middle Ages through the lens of the far-travelling Norse and their Icelandic saga storytelling culture. Stretching from North America and Greenland in the west to Russia in the east, Arctic Scandinavia in the north to the Islamic Caliphate in the south, what emerges is a fluid, fragmented, multidimensional picture that reveals how the world, its geographies and inhabitants were remembered and imagined by a unique culture from the edge of Europe.
