VIKING AGE ICELAND Viking Longships in an Icelandic inlet Earlier this year, I was honored to be a guest author on Regan Walker’s marvelous Historical Romance Review blog site. My article, “Viking Age Iceland, the Land of Ice and Fire,” appeared January 23, 2018.

Hence the article focused on the discovery and first settlements of Iceland but left aside its laws and literature. Rather than have this material lan ..read more

VIKING AGE ICELAND Literature: our great debt to Iceland How impoverished our knowledge of the Viking world would be today if it were not for the great literary treasures of Iceland. By contrast, little survives from other countries of that time period. Almost all of what we know of Norse mythology, Viking navigation, law codes, everyday life, etc. is preserved in the Eddas, sagas, and poetry of Iceland. It may seem strange that a remote island, just south of the Arctic Circle, should be the repository of such literary riches. Yet the country’s very isolation, in great part, contr ..read more
