Description
Morawiec, Jakub, Aleksandra Jochymek, and Grzegorz Bartusik. Social Norms in Medieval Scandinavia. ARC Humanities Press 2019 Pictorial hardcover. Very Good Unused Octavo 268 pp
“The chapters in this volume address numerous and intri-cate questions regarding Old Norse culture; rituals, social ties, social norms, outlaws, lawmaking, and cognitive structures. The main sources for the discussion are the Icelandic family sagas, the kings’ sagas, as well as Eddic poetry, laws, and sagas such as Karlamagnús saga. The diversity of topics is the strength of the volume. This is possible due to the exceptional source situation that offers us almost endless opportunities of discussing different aspects of the Old Norse culture.”
