«The Medieval Scandinavian Art Reader» is the first anthology on medieval Scandinavian art and architecture in English. This book looks beyond national divisions to offer an integrated art history of medieval Scandinavia from the Iron Age to the post-Reformation afterlives of medieval artifacts.
Beginning with a thorough introduction that maps the Scandinavian world, the twenty chapters situate the medieval monuments and objects in Scandinavia within a range of artistic traditions. Rigorously researched yet accessibly written by leading specialists in the field, the chapters offer fresh approaches to the study of medieval Scandinavia, such as migration, multiculturalism, gender, and materiality, as well as cultural heritage science.
Beautiful illustrations, maps, and suggestions for further reading make this book an ideal companion for researchers, students, and the general reader to delve into the stunning, well-preserved visual histories of medieval Scandinavia.

Specialists will appreciate the sensitivities that contributors bring to The Medieval Scandinavian Art Reader, and particularly their attention to, and solvents for, the difficulties of situating the subject at hand within the more traditional expanses of art history. The features that make this possible–accessible language, remarkable images (some of which have been provided by the contributors themselves), fact boxes that provide immediate clarification for unfamiliar concepts, key terms, and cultural distinctions, as well as rich bibliographies and “Further Reading” sections that foot each chapter — are most beneficial for non-specialists and students who are curious about the far North. For this audience, the volume will serve as a stimulating entry point that connects otherwise disparate luminations of knowledge into a traceable constellation. For those more enmeshed in the field, it will prove to be a lucid pedagogical resource.
