The Norsemen: Understanding Vikings And Their Culture

Professor Michael D.C. Drout of Wheaton College immerses listeners in the extraordinary legacy of Viking civilization that developed in what is now Scandinavia during the early Middle Ages. During the course of these lectures, Professor Drout explores how these peoples conquered all of Northern Europe, traveled as far as Byzantium in the East and North America in the West, and left a literary legacy that includes numerous works studied and enjoyed to this day.
