Purchase options and add-ons

In this extensively revised third edition of The Viking Age: A Reader, Somerville and McDonald successfully bring the Vikings and their world to life for twenty-first-century students and instructors. The diversity of the Viking era is revealed through the remarkable range and variety of sources presented as well as the geographical and chronological coverage of the readings.


The third edition has been reorganized into fifteen chapters. Many sources have been added, including material on gender and warrior women, and a completely new final chapter traces the continuing cultural influence of the Vikings to the present day. The use of visual material has been expanded, and updated maps illustrate historical developments throughout the Viking Age. The English translations of Norse texts, many of them new to this collection, are straightforward and easily accessible, while chapter introductions contextualize the readings.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The third edition of [ The Viking Age] is a substantial enlargement and update."

―D.J. Shepherd, CHOICE

"This book is a gift to anyone teaching (or being taught) the Vikings – an affordable compilation of essential literature, contextualised with critical introductions. The editors provide a whole course of reading in one volume, and this third edition is now updated with a major new section on gender and a review of the Vikings’ complex legacies from medieval times down to today."

―Neil Price, Uppsala University

"The third edition of Angus Somerville and Andrew McDonald’s The Viking Age: A Reader is to be welcomed by everyone interested in the Vikings and their world. This significantly revised edition of their classic sourcebook provides even more material than was available in the two previous editions. The entirely new section on responses to the Vikings shows how they have provoked inspiration among writers through the centuries. An expanded section on gender brings in materials that more fully illustrate the complexity of interrelationships and identity. The occasional change of texts in the other sections makes this an appreciably different book from the earlier versions and keeps it in the forefront of modern scholarship."

―Benjamin Hudson, Pennsylvania State University

"The third edition of The Viking Age: A Reader reaches new heights. With its fresh and readable translations, the pedagogical maps, and the way the editors contextualize and explain their texts, this is the obvious choice for anyone curious about the Vikings. I always use it to good effect when I am teaching Viking history."


―Anders Winroth, Yale University
