This brilliant and authoritative survey is for everyone who seeks to know the true story of the foundation of Northern Europe.
The Goths and Franks, Saxons and Celts, Slavs and Vikings all made as vital a contribution to our civilization as the Latin peoples of the Meditteranean and together with seven other distinguished archaeologists and historians, David M. Wilson examines their distinctive cultures to reveal the reality behind the myths.
The text is accompanied by an array of stunning illustrations, and covers the gods and heroes, the Germanic tribes, the Celts and how they contributed to history, the rise of the Vikings, the sagas they left behind, and finally the way in which the painters, writers and composers of the nineteenth century turned the history and mythology of the North into some of the great masterpieces of the Romantic age.
