This collection of ten papers investigates the Norse colonization of the North Atlantic region, starting with Viking expansion in Arctic Norway and ending with a discussion of the longterm implications of medieval Scandinavian exploration of the New World.
"This is a very
well produced volume with many illustrations, charts, and photographs
that are pertinent to the discussion. (...) Contact, Continuity, and
Collapse makes a useful contribution to Atlantic history and Viking
studies." (B. Hudson in Scandinavian Studies, Vol.77, Issue
4, Winter 2005, p.512-514)
"(...) students
of Scandinavian colonisation should find this a most useful collection
of material." (L. Abrams in Saga-Book,
p.160-164)
