Vik<strong>in</strong>g-<strong>age</strong> Scand<strong>in</strong>avia<br />
Relatively less popular attention has been paid to <strong>the</strong> <strong>history</strong> <strong>of</strong> Scand<strong>in</strong>avia dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> Vik<strong>in</strong>g <strong>age</strong>, and a<br />
fur<strong>the</strong>r problem for <strong>the</strong> English-speak<strong>in</strong>g student is that most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> detailed research has naturally been<br />
conducted <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Scand<strong>in</strong>avian</strong> langu<strong>age</strong>s. The deceptively named (A33) is still <strong>the</strong> most comprehensive<br />
attempt to address <strong>the</strong> social <strong>history</strong> <strong>of</strong> Vik<strong>in</strong>g-<strong>age</strong> Scand<strong>in</strong>avia <strong>in</strong> English, even though it is now<br />
outdated on many po<strong>in</strong>ts; a better place to start would be with <strong>the</strong> sections devoted to Scand<strong>in</strong>avia <strong>in</strong><br />
many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> volumes cited above, especially (A21). For more specific work on Vik<strong>in</strong>g-<strong>age</strong> Scand<strong>in</strong>avia,<br />
as well as references to material concern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> pre-Vik<strong>in</strong>g (Iron <strong>age</strong>) and post-Vik<strong>in</strong>g (mediaeval)<br />
