Description

Explore the complex role of the pagan North in medieval thought with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines the lasting interest in legends from the peripheral North, tracing how an 'out-of-Scandinavia' legend was used across various European texts. By focusing on the Anglo-Saxon tradition, the text analyzes how Scandinavia was viewed as an ancestral homeland. The pagan North served as an imaginative region that sparked many conflicting views. For Christian Europe, this area represented an abject Other, yet it also functioned as a symbol of ancestral strength and energy. This study maps how these specific discourses helped shape national legends of ancestral origins. It is an essential resource for those studying medieval religion, culture, and the history of European identity.
